GIMP kills the GeoTiff tags. In earlier versions it would produce a huge stack of error message windows when loading, complaining about unknown tags, but now in ver 2.2.15 it just gives 3 errors per GeoTiff which is manageable. I load my GeoTiffs in GIS software first to save the geo data before editing in GIMP, so I can then reload it using the data and have my GIS restore the GeoTiff tags. scott s. . _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
