Finally my raster file was in the right position, 25,35 in 4326 WGS84 for Greece. So I found the firstly first shapefile from the source (a goverment web with open gis data), because the "source" file i was working has been already re-projected once and the "save as" in QGIS was giving me wrong projection. So i did the reprojecting procedure with the original file and they matched exactly with my raster data, that was all! <br><br><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2011 09:53:04 -0500<br>Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] RE: [Qgis-community-team] Problem changing a shapefile's coordinates<br>From: gisbradokla@live.com<br>To: qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org<br><br><div>we like to hear about the solutions.

<div class="h5"><br><br>
<div dir="ltr">After reading all the answers and re-projecting to 4326 from the original .shp file (using save as..), i think that my problem is the projection of my .tiff data, because all my files in WGS84 projects at approximately the same coordinates (-92,35 as Brad said) but my raster file of the same area is at (25,35), so if i want to project all files at this CRS i have to "move" somehow my .tiff file at the above coordinates (and not the opposite as i was trying so long), am i right or wrong? Is there a way to change the coordinates that my tiff projects? I tried "on the fly" and by specifying the 4326 CRS from the file's properties but that doesn't changed anything, 25,35 remains. <br>
<br>Thanks all for the answers, I know i am a bit trouble! <br><br><br><br><br><br>
