You can make the black surrounds to your warped image transparent by right clicking on the layer, choosing properties, then selecting Transparency. Add a new entry to the Transparent Pixel List using the button with the star, then put 0 in for Red, Green and Blue (or 255 for white backgrounds).

I'm trying to geo-reference some rasters.
I'm not sure which algorithm to use to get maximum match with known GCPs, these rasters need to be distorted a lot. I thought tps and cubic would be best. Can anyone tell me which algorithm is best?

Also, when the raster is placed(georeference completed), the background outside the original raster is black, not transparent like I would expect. I doubt I can trim the modified raster without losing GCPs. I can make the raster transparent, but I don't like the results. Is there a solution to the black background?

Once I am satisfied with geo-referenced rasters, I can trace vector polylines inside QGIS. Or is there a better way? Using a vector drawing program like Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator?

I'm potentially dealing with a lot of data, so am looking for the best way.

thanks,
