[Qgis-user] Projection question

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi Mikhail,

Did you enable on the fly projection in the project properties window?
QGIS cannot reproject rasters on the fly, so you must set your project 
projection to the same projection of your raster layer. QGIS will 
reproject vectors on the fly.

regards,
Zoltan
