Richard,
Thanks for your response. Gave this a run but it’s not quite working. Looks like the problem stems from the colour being defined across three bands, with black defined by 0,0,0 When “No data = 0” this clears all colours where band 1 = 0. Which includes a lot more colours than just black. Tried entering a few different formats to cover the all 3 bands but the second 2 are always ignored. Any thoughts as to how I get 3 bands recognised?

You may also do this by going to RASTER, Conversion and selecting Translate Its the very same tool just a different interface Regards, Richard On 14/08/2017 15:04, Richard McDonnell wrote: Hi Brett You can indeed, just use the Processing toolbox, just type Translate into the search box and select the Translate Tool under GDAL. The values you specified as transparent, can be specified under the Nodata Value You can also do this as part of a batch if you have a number of files, you wish to do this for. Hope this helps, Richard. On 14/08/2017 14:07, Brett Adams wrote: Hi Folks, I have a geotiff that contains a black ground in areas where there is no data. The black background is made transparent within QGIS via “Layer Properties – Transparency” Can I export a new Geotiff with the black background removed? I’m running 2.6.1 On Windows-7. Yes, I know it’s an old version but I’ve had no reason to update. So far… Thanks Brett Adams Spinifex-GPX 0438 861 974 _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user -- Richard McDonnell GIS Specialist PgD GIS AssocSCSI OPW FRM Data Management 52 Stephens Green, Dublin 2.
