[Qgis-user] Georeferenced raster images

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Wolstan,

If you are using QGIS3, head to the plugins and make sure the georeferencer plugin is ticked. It then becomes available in the raster menu. I suspect that is what you are looking for.

Cheers - Phil

Subject: [Qgis-user] Georeferenced raster images

Hi - I am a new user struggling to pick up the fundamentals - I have 
successfully imported a LIDAR raster layer and hillshaded / pseudo 
coloured / contoured it.

My problem is that I want an image of a topographical map  behind it as 
a base map to provide context.

The GIS I am familiar with had the facility to take an image eg TIFF, 
JPG, PNG, georeference the four corners, and import it into a layer so 
that it was matched to the vector map. This seems a simple and I should 
have thought common requirement eg you want to put a TIFF of a historic 
map behind the modern map you are creating.

I cannot see any way of doing it - am I being obtuse?

Any help appreciated

Wolstan
