Some of the raster tools, such as translate, provide a "Creation Options" section (see the attached screenshot). It is very difficult for users to locate the documentation to find out what options are available. I suggest adding a help button to the creation options section, which would be something like this:

Raster translate - creation options

Use the add button to add format specific creation options for the output file.

To see what options are available for your selected output file format, visit http://gdal.org/formats_list.html, click on the format, and scroll down until you find the list of creation options.

e.g. to create accompanying world files with output tiff images, use the TFW=YES option, by entering "tfw" for the option name and "yes" for the value.

There might be a better way to provide this information; perhaps via a tooltip (does QT support clickable URLs in a tooltip?). Or maybe it should just be added to the manual.

If there are any options that are likely to be very popular, it might be worth adding startup tips for them. Maybe the TFW option is an example:

Tip: Some other software requires world files to display geotiffs in the correct location.
When creating geotiffs using features such as Raster Translate, you can create accompanying world files by using the TFW=YES option.
Simply check the box to enable Creation Options, click Add, and enter "tfw" for the option name and "yes" for the value.
