Frank,

Thank you for response.
if I use your suggestion, for example pixel (1000,1000);

longitude = -25 + 0.560648 * 1000 = 5581.48
latitude = 75 - 0.560648 * 1000 = -5531.48

So, it is not possible.

I do not have problem converting projected space to geographic space using 
proj lib. My problem is how can calculate the distance from the corner using 
below parameters than I can convert those to lat/lon.

Best Regards,
Aydin
