Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I tried the file you included in your prior post and it worked correctly with a state and province boundary vector file!

I’m not sure if I understand all of your explanation on what is causing the problem. I will attempt to get help at the QGIS forums with the aid of your info.

In regard to the raster file that your directed me to – http://www.nacis.org/naturalearth/temp/NE1_LR_LC_SR_GEOTIFF.zip – is it possible for me to access other raster files like that one? How is the file that you directed me to different from the raster files that I have been downloading from http://www.naturalearthdata.com that did not work?

I went to the NACIS.org website and clicked on the Natural Earth link on their homepage and it just directs me to http://www.naturalearthdata.com homepage. It would be great if I can gain access to the other raster files that will work correctly in QGIS.

Thanks for your assistance!

Hi,

Thanks for your patience – I very much appreciate your assistance!

Sorry about the video – I changed it from private viewing. Here is the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWOUTG9fjjQ

As you will see in the brief video I set the projection for each layer to WGS84 lat/lon ( EPSG:4326) and set the project projection to EPSG:4326 and enabled on-the-fly reprojection.

As you can see in the Youtube video, QGIS is still projecting the vector layer and the raster image layer at very different scales/sizing. I have downloaded at least three raster image files from Natural Earth and they have all had this problem. When I am in QGIS I add the Raster layer and then the vector layer, set the projections to all be the same and it still does not work. I must be doing something wrong that is very obvious – but I can’t figure it out!?!?!

I sent an e-mail to nathaniel@naturalearthdata.com which contains two small screenshot image files which might assist you in possibly determining what I am doing wrong. The first image shows the names of the two raster files that I downloaded from Natural Earth. Do I need to do anything to changing the filenames? The second image file is an image from a text editor that shows the world file. I’m not sure if that info helps at all.

Any other ideas or suggestions.

Thanks very much!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have followed your suggestions and looked online for help but I am having no luck in fixing the problem. This seems like such a simple task – I must be missing something really obvious.

I made a 2 minute screencast video that shows what I am doing (or perhaps what I am doing wrong). The video is on Youtube and shows what I’m doing and seeing in QGIS. In the video I am using the ’10m-admin-0-countries’ shapefile and ‘NE2_LR_LC_SR_W_DR’ raster image file – both downloaded from Natural Earth. Perhaps you could take a quick look? The link is below:

The video quality isn’t the best, but hopefully you might see something that will help me solve this issue.

Thanks very much
