Hello, I am new to Qgis and GIS in general so please excuse any butchering of terminology. I have a DEM file of the Atlantic seaboard that I wish to view in Qgis. I can easily load in a view the map without problem. Now, from what I understand, the default projection in Qgis is "latlong". I'd like to change this to WGS84 / World Mercator which I can easily do through the project properties dialog. I also make sure on the fly projection is enabled here. My understading is that his will now take my DEM and project it using the WGS84 / World Mercator projection. However, when I do this the DEM map "disappears". I have tried right-clicking on the map layer and zooming to layer extents, but this doesn't help.
What is more surprising, is that I am also loading in a collection of lat/long values in a CSV file. These appear to be projecting just fine (at least they don't disappear and they seem to be influenced by the projection). I've tried a number of different projections with the same results. Namely, the loaded lat/long values seem to be projected correctly, but the DEM is nowhere to be found. Is it not possible to project a DEM in Qgis? Is there something I need to do to my DEM before projecting it? I'm lost at what is going on here. Any and all help would me much appreciated.
