Dear Jenny,

If your images are in TIFF, you can convert the coordinate system to the one that you have, with
gdalwarp. As an example, if my coordinate system is UTM Zone 48S (32748) and my data is in lat-long (4326), I will use gdalwarp command like this:
gdalwarp -t_srs "EPSG:32748" -s_srs "EPSG:4326" source.tif target.tif

Cheers,
