PhotoLayer plugin - Satellite GeoTiffs with transparency

[rgleason]

I totally agree, this has been a Feature Request for awhile, but we need a programmer to add it.

if only it would do persistent save .... so I can select it again .. or if the save to kap worked or if it would save as a geotiff the photo plugin could handle it and sat2chart could do its thing as welll
if only ....

You are a lucky boy!


I don't see Photolayer at all in the list of Managed Plugins...


WIn 10, OCPN 5.8.4 & last plugin master for catalog 2023-10-16 ...

I installed and updated since then photolayer through the plugin manager.
It is now marked as "unmanaged" by plugin manager !?
I can not update it anymore while a 3.3.1 version seems to be available ...

What to do ? Many thanks for your help.

Hi!


Exported and installed latest plugin fine.
Made a geotiff: png (8.bit) ->OkMap->georef.->Save as->geotif.
For test: MAPC2MAPC loads it fine.

Trying to open geotiff (1.3MB) in Photolayer gives me an error:
" ... unable to transform points between pixel/line and PCS space"


Any idea of why ...

Photolayer cannot read mercator geotiffs. Try opening in MAPC2MAPC and saving as geotiff but in Lat/Lon format. Same if anyone is using SASPlanet.
