Hi everyone
 
I am having a problem creating GeoTiff files.....to do this i am using the geotifcp executable which can be got from libgeotif....
ultimately i am trying to get the geotiffs into MapInfo....
My metadata file looks lie this:
 
Geotiff_Information:
   Version: 1
   Key_Revision: 1.0
   Tagged_Information:
      ModelTiepointTag (6,3):
         6660           684           0               
       387643.29    290477.65           0      
         4340         11520         0              
       387402.29     289265.29           0
        20041         13262          0
       389146.75    289090.45           0
   End_Of_Tags.
  
   Keyed_Information:
      GTModelTypeGeoKey (Short,1): ModelTypeProjected
      GTRasterTypeGeoKey (Short,1): RasterPixelIsArea
      ProjectedCSTypeGeoKey (Short,1): PCS_British_National_Grid
      End_Of_Keys.
   End_Of_Geotiff.
 
however once the geotif is created the MapInfo (5.5) Georeg utility complains that my control points all lie on the same line....
i have succesfully registered read a geotif in mapinfo which used one control point and x and y pixel scales but i would prefer to use three control points if possible.
 
has anyone had any experience of Geotiffs? Or can anyone at MapInfo confirm that MI cannot read geotiffs which have used three control points in this way..i have a read a few articles on the internet (http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff) by people who have been using other software which can read geotifs but do not support this 3 control point technique...
 
any help would be really appreciated and i will summarise the problem when i have solved it.
 
Cheers
