<div dir="ltr">Thanks Joaquim and Even,<div><br></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Per my email I augmented the original GLOBE image and created a properly referenced image using gdal_translate as follows: I did an imread from QGIS/GDAL into Octave, added the appropriate 24 rows and columns on each side, and did an imwrite back to QGIS/GDAL to continue processing; however, I'm having a problem with negative elevations probably due to data type confusion.</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">1.
