I am using 2.0.1-Dufour and looking for documentation on how to stitch some raster images together. The original images are jpg and when I did an add raster layer the image was not recognizable. The jpg images of course do not have any location associated with them. I then used Gimp to convert them to tiff (not geotiff) and they load as good looking raster layers. There is no CRS associated with these images, they are just spatially related to each other. 1) Do I have to convert all of my pictures to tiff or is there some way to load jpg raster images that do not distort beyond recognition?
There are some kinds of jpeg compressions and colour paletting that QGIS does not understand. If you have such files, converting them with gimp to a more common format is the best way.
2) Where can I find documentation on how to stitch my images together? I have not found the documentation for that process yet.
Once you have georeferenced all your images, you can create a virtual raster to adress them as a single layer. Off course, stitching them in gimp is also possible.
