Hi,
Change the project properties to EPSG:32618 . Make sure you have CRS on the fly activated as extra precaution. Then click on the source image (nad27) and then where it should be in 32618. (If you are adding the coordinates by hand, then you are using 2032. If you clicking on the screen, the coordinates are probably in 4326.)
Look at the coordinate for the control point. The source should be in pixels and the second in 32618. You can check by creating a shp file with points in 2032 then reprojecting it in 32618.
If you have problems, use 2032 for your project CRS and try again then use warp if you absolutely need the map to be in another projection.
Send the file with the control points if thing are not working for you.

Hi, I did reference the CRS of both source and output. Source: EPSG:2032 NAD27 UTM Zone 18N and Output: EPSG:32618 WGS84 UTM. The project properties are EPSG:4326 WGS 84. When I use the georeferencer the resulting raster is still off by about 200m. If I click on the raster and change it from WGS84 to NAD27 CRS, then everything appears to line up. This is odd because I would expect the raster to be reprojected at WGS84. I then used the Raster->Projections->Warp tool to change the Source SRS from WGS84 to NAD27 and the Output SRS to WGS84 and then reprojected the image. The resulting GeoTiff lines up correctly. It almost seems like the Georeferencer is not re-projecting between these two formats correctly. I need to use the Warp tool to reproject manually. Does this sound right?

Perhaps that step was not done properly. I have had this type of problems in the past and it had to do with me changing the CRS during the process. Perhaps the output file CRS was changed and that change was not recorded. Generally speaking, the module works and will reproject to anything. Make sure the project CRS is the same as what the output should be for extra precaution. Nicolas Cadieux M.Sc.

I was able to get everything to line up correctly by changing the layer property CRS from WGS84 UTM to EPSG:26718 NAD27 UTM. I was expecting the new raster to have WGS84 coordinates and the projected image with it. It seems the coordinates are still referencing the NAD27 projection after the they should not. Therefore I’m wondering if the Georeferencer pluging reprojects or not.
Thanks

I’m hoping an expert here can point me in the right direction. The issue is when I finally open the resulting TIFF file as a raster layer it appears the raster is 200m too far to the south. It also appears this is a uniform error across the map. The east and west line up fairly well. I was suspecting something with the projection choices or coordinate systems. I figured the coordinate system translation code would have already had plenty of use in the community by now. When creating the TIFF I used 10 coordinate points and Projective/Cubic. I also tried 2-degree poly with similar results. For the target SRS I used EPSG:32618 WGS84 UTM. The raster source is EPSG:2032 NAD27 UTM Zone 18N. The two vector data sources I checked agree and are EPSG:4326 WGS 84. I tried to create the TIFF in this format, however it ended up in the wrong coordinates when loaded as a layer.
