Description

In some cases the georeferencer produces invalid Geotiff Information. I attached an example TIFF file for georeferencing. Georeferencer settings: Helmert; Lanczos;LZW;SRS:"EPSG:23700".

Here ModelPixelScaleTag format is invalid due to the many decimal places. Writing it back to the tif with geotifcp -g and printing it again produces the following:

PCS = 23700 (name unknown)
Projection Linear Units: 9001/metre (1.000000m)

Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left    (  553955.399,   82861.388)
Lower Left    (  553955.399,   82861.388)

Center        (  554191.449,   82861.388)

As you can see all the second coordinates became identical due to the second pixelscale become zero.

As a workaround, manually rounding the original ModelPixelScaleTags solves the issue:

      ModelPixelScaleTag (1,3):
         0.08849110111781 0.08849110111781 0
