Brett,
There appears to be nothing wrong with those examples, if there where, you would be informed anyway! Another approach try this /*gdal_calc.py -A input.tif --outfile=result.tif --calc="A*(A>0)" --NoDataValue=0
*/This supposes of course, you are familiar with command line GDAL!

Might I suggest another solution, It will only work with other QGIS users, but If you, in Properties, save your style as default, it will create a default qgis style with the same name as the raster. When you send it along with the raster, or anyone opens the raster, where the style is in the same location, the raster will always open as you require. Without having a subset of your dataset to play with Im sorry, I cant be of any more help!!
Regards,

Richard.

Hi Richard,

Trialled your suggestion and others contained in the gis.stackexchange.com link. Always get the same result where if any of the three bands contain a 0, it’s removed.

Maybe I’ve got the syntax slightly wrong?

*Original *

gdalwarp -overwrite -s_srs EPSG:28351 ""C:/Brett.tif"

*Trialled variations*

gdalwarp -overwrite -srcnodata "0,0,0" -dstnodata "0,0,0" -s_srs EPSG:28351 -of GTiff "C:/Brett.tif" "C:/Brett2.tif"

gdalwarp -overwrite -srcnodata "0,0,0" -dstnodata "0,0,0" -of GTiff "C:/Brett.tif" "C:/Brett2.tif"

gdalwarp -overwrite -srcnodata None -dstnodata None -dstalpha -s_srs EPSG:28351 -of GTiff "C:/Brett.tif" "C:/Brett2.tif"

Hi,
Just looking into this, but you might try whats outlined here

https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/166699/replacing-rgb-value-0-0-0-with-nodata-nodata-nodata-in-gdal

Warp, can be found under *Raster*, *Projections*,*Warp *fill in the fields just as you done before for the Translate, with the exception of the nodata field.

At the bottom where you see the GDAL script being constructed, you should also see a Pencil or Pen icon, select this, it will allow you to directly edit the script. You should paste */-srcnodata "0,0,0" -dstnodata "0,0,0" /*just after*/-overwrite /*so as you have something like below*/.

/*gdalwarp -overwrite -srcnodata "0,0,0" -dstnodata "0,0,0" -of GTiff raster_in.tif raster_out.tif

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Richard.

    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?

    Brett,
    Apologies, ive just realised your version of QGIS may not have the
    processing toolbox.
    You may also do this by going to *RASTER*, *Conversion *and
    selecting*Translate *Its the very same tool just a different interface
    Regards,

    Richard

        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.

            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
