Hi,
When you use the georeferencer, you need to indicate the CRS of the the source
file and of the the output file. Perhaps that step was not done properly.
I have had this type of problems in the past and it had to do with me
changing the CRS during the process. Perhaps the output file CRS
was changed and that change was not recorded. Generally speaking, the
module works and will reproject to anything. Make sure the project CRS is
the same as what the output should be for extra precaution.

I was able to get everything to line up correctly by changing the layer
property CRS from WGS84 UTM to EPSG:26718 NAD27 UTM. I was expecting the new
raster to have WGS84 coordinates and the projected image with it. It seems the
coordinates are still referencing the NAD27 projection after the they should
not. Therefore I’m wondering if the Georeferencer pluging reprojects or not.
Thanks

can trace vector over it. I have been playing with the plugin for a few hours
and am having odd results. I’m hoping an expert here can point me in the right
direction. The issue is when I finally open the resulting TIFF file as a
raster layer it appears the raster is 200m too far to the south. It also
appears this is a uniform error across the map. The east and west line up
fairly well. I was suspecting something with the projection choices or
coordinate systems. I figured the coordinate system translation code would have
already had plenty of use in the community by now. When creating the TIFF I
used 10 coordinate points and Projective/Cubic. I also tried 2-degree poly
with similar results. For the target SRS I used EPSG:32618 WGS84 UTM. The
raster source is EPSG:2032 NAD27 UTM Zone 18N. The two vector data sources I
checked agree and are EPSG:4326 WGS 84. I tried to create the TIFF in this
format, however it ended up in the wrong coordinates when loaded as a layer.
