Hi,

Some times ago, I tried to update the georeferencing information by code but it 
didn't seem to work.
My solution was to first destroy the informations by using gdal_translate with 
-co PROFILE=BASELINE
Then to use the new Tiff with a prj file to have a GTiff

PROFILE=[GDALGeoTIFF/GeoTIFF/BASELINE]: Control what non-baseline tags are 
emitted by GDAL.

   * With GDALGeoTIFF (the default) various GDAL custom tags may be written.
   * With GeoTIFF only GeoTIFF tags will be added to the baseline.
* With BASELINE no GDAL or GeoTIFF tags will be written. BASELINE is occationally useful when writing files to be read by applications intolerant of unrecognised tags.

There could be some better way...

Subject: [gdal-dev] Overwriting Georeferencing Information of a GeoTIFF file


Hi GDAL users/developers,

Is it possible to overwrite georeferencing information of an existing
geotiff file? For some reasons, some of the files I received have
georeferencing information in Millimeters instead of Meters. All of my
data uses meters as units.

I thought that maybe it is possible to create a tfw file and modify the
tfw file, but since the tiff file also has the original georeferencing
information in millimeters, the internal georeferencing still takes
precedence over the external tfw file. Is there some way to force gdal to
prefer the tfw file?

If not - what else could I do? Write different projection files?

Actually, I don't want to modify the rasters at all, just the
georeferencing information.

Thanks for any hints,
Andreas
