<div dir="auto">The png/tiff export will include the canvas background colors. World files have pixel coordinates though so you should be able to open the image in an image manipulation program like photoshop, <a href="http://paint.net">paint.net</a> or gimp/glimpse, then just select the background with the magic wand and delete it.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Save the resulting image and open it with the world file available and it should work... although that depends on the software used to open it too I guess. There might be an alternative approach using no data values but I'm not sure how to approach it off hand.<br><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">You can also set the qgis project background to cyan or something if you want to have a more effective chroma key effect.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">One thing to note is that if you are embedding the georeference info in the file like tif, the image programme will probably strip out the relevant tags so you need to use a world file for that approach.</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, 21 Sep 2021, 00:20 krishna Ayyala, <<a href="mailto:ayyalakrishna@gmail.com">ayyalakrishna@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Charles,<div>When you get a chance, can you please help me with one question?
