[Qgis-user] projecting raster problem

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi, 
Clearly a CRS problem.  
 In the CRS options make sure you have "on the fly reprojection" activated.  Then make sure the option for new layer is set to "ask" so if a new layer is does not have a CRS, it will not assume that it should use the on for the project. 
One layer probably does not have the CRS specified or is not read correctly by QGIS.  
To find the culprit, compare coordinate  results with google earth or use the open layer plugin.(be carefully as your project CRS will change using the plugin). You should see that one CRS  layer is projected and the other in not.  Degree are by interpreted as meters or the contrary.

	I have some experience with ARCMAP and am trying QGIS because I read it's easier to combine rasters.
I set my projection to NAD1983.  I loaded a shapefile for the outline of the U.S. and several DEM files from the USGS.  All these are projected NAD1983 and this works in ARCGIS with these projections.  But, in QGIS I get a small U.S. shapefile and a HUGE raster that's to the bottom and right.  By the way, the raster file is supposed to be tiny (1X1 degree).
Thanks.
