Hello Geoff, the first thing to check is having the right tools in place, this also helps you to get your ECW file converted. By the command line, try using GDAL. /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/Current/Programs/gdal_translate WhatYouGet.ECW WhatYouWant.TIF You may want to refine your conversion with the provided options (you will find part of them in QGIS menus). Just get some help by issuing: /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/Current/Programs/gdal_translate --help-general (or --long-usage). If I remember well, the installer does something to put the current version of the tools more easily available by symlinking them in your /usr/local/bin, so you may try omitting this long path an just typing gdal_translate It should work. If you don't get your file properly translated, double check your installation. c
