Hello,
Actually, that would be the problem. The gimp does load up the image,
giving warnings about the tags it does not understand, and when one saves
the image these tags are lost. I have used the Gimp for various (fairly
simple) image processing as a user, but I have not looked at the code or
creating a plug-in, which I might look into doing (but, unfortunately, may
be a bit limited on time) . Documentation and a geotiff library can be
found here, btw: http://remotesensing.org/geotiff/geotiff.html
Sincerely,
Maverick Merritt

The answer to both questions is no. It is unlikely that the file format
would
be supported in GIMP unless there is a publically available document
which
describes the file format. If there is such a document, it just takes an
interested party to create a plug-in for the format.
It has been almost ten years since I worked with GEOTIFF files, but IIRC
they are just TIFF files with a couple extra tags telling you where the
image is geospatially located. That should mean that GIMP can open a
GEOTIFF fine, but there are no guarantees that it can keep the tags if you
then save it. Note, I haven't checked this in a long long time, but it
did
work then.
