Transparency

[tika]

Hi folks

Uploading a tiff with transparent background yields a black background in the georeferenced image. Is there a way also have a transparent background in the georeferenced image? See:

Thanks for any hint!

have you been able to figure this out. I am having the same issue,

no, I gave up...sorry, no better answer.

Georeferencer does not support transparency on uploaded maps at this moment - it is a feature for one of the future releases.

In the meanwhile, there is a workaround - if you have the data to process feel free to use our MapTiler (https://www.maptiler.com/) which does contain a comfortable interface for visual georeferencing similar to Georeferencer - and it does support transparency out of the box (for data supplied with alpha channel such as transparent PNG or for data where a single color should be turned into transparent).

Hosting of produced maps is possible directly on any web server or even Amazon S3.

Regards,

Petr
