[Qgis-user] Problem merging 30-m SRTM tiles in QGIS 3.24.3 for MacOS 10.14.6

[Walter Alvarez]

Thank you for your responses, Wouter and Richard!

It seems there were two problems.  First the DEM TIFFs were stored in iCloud, and second, the tools window was hidden under the main window.  Yiur suggestions may also help, but now the merge works.

I really appreciate you both taking the time to help!

Sincerely,

Walter

It is also very easy to generate convert that VRT to any other format output, using gdal_translate (Raster è Conversion è Translate)
