Re: [udig-devel] Compatibility issue with geotiffs

[Dave S-B <dev-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Go get FWTools - http://fwtools.maptools.org/. There's lots of tools for 
working with spatial data, but in this case all you need to do is import 
the tiff file using the OpenEV viewer and it will create a compatible 
GeoTiff file automagically. Attached is the file....
