[Qgis-user] Hillshade as layer property vs. Processing Toolbox GDAL hillshade

Hi,

So the problem occurs only when creating a Hillshade, from a DEM, using the hillshade symbology?  Have you chosen the correct a factor value?  Try to use the same projection in the project and in the layer so that you have no reprojection going on.

Ça va bien aller!

Looking for a solution, I found this conservation about the same issue (I think) from about 3 years ago; it seems to be a problem still today (working with QGIS 3.12).
