Hello,
-Joe


I would like to download Nasa’s Visible Earth images then load them into Qgis 
and then use the Clipper command to clip out rectangular portions with specific 
latitude/longitude boundaries. The Nasa images are available here: 
http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view.php?id=74218. The problem I am having is that 
the images come into Qgis without the proper geographic coordinates. The Nasa 
documentation says that the images are in the Plate Carree projection and the 
projection datum is WGS84. But with my very limited knowledge of map 
projections I do not know how to set this up in Qgis so that the images will be 
positioned properly and use decimal degrees as their units. Any help would be 
greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
-Joe
