Hi,

I made a few more tests and here are my bit uncertain results:

1) OpenJUMP "Save to image" is creating a correct world file and maps
created this way have correct georeferencing.
2) Save to image is creating .pgw world file for png images which is the
original ESRI way and correct in that sense. Funny, but OpenJUMP itself
can't utilile .pgw world files with the native (or Vivid?) image reader
but they need to be renamed as .tfw.  This should be corrected either by
changing image export so that it creates both .tfw and .pgw named world
files, or by making Vivid image reader to accept also .pgw world files.
I did not check what is the situation with jpeg images and .jgw world
files.
3) Native image reader shows images a bit softened but the orientation
of the opened images is probably correct. I did see an quarter pixel
offset in one test but no offset in another.  Some other viewers like
OpenEV are softering the image in a similar way and I think it is not a
bug. Obviously some programmers like it more softened and some as sharp.
4) I am pretty sure that Add-Sextante-Raster-Image does not locate
images correctly. It seems to introduce an offset of exactly one image
pixel both to the right and towards the bottom.
