(I just deleted my previous post (transparency problem…) because the problem was not what I thought.)

Here is my actual problem:

I have been using a calibrated map (.tif file) for years in MM3.

When using it with MM3, its calibration is just fine and the bottom left corner of my map is:

• 47° 1’ 20.064” N / 4° 8’ 2.450” E
• 586177,9 metres / 5208259,6 metres (Burgundy, France).

However when I open it in MM4, this original calibration does not remain; instead, the bottom left corner of my map becomes:

• 1,488744° W / 0,000117° N
• 0,00 metres / 13,00 metres

Let me just add that in both MM3 & 4, I set up the same projection parameters, i.e.:

• UTM 31
• WGS 84 global

--> The problem is that my projection parameters cannot be understood by MM4!

For info, I have also been using a Google Earth photo (.tif file) for years with MM3. When opening this file with MM4, I find it at the right place, i.e. about 47° 1’ N / 4° 8’ E!

--> So how comes that the calibration of one .tif file is read correctly by MM4 and not the other one? And what can I do?

Thanks for your kind answers!

Although it does not directly help I noted when testing the trial version that calibration options have changed in MM4. (See my earlier post/Hanno's rely)

Not working on projects that need map making/GIS currently so can't comment beyond this as what little map viewing I am doing my older MM3 (full version)still covers adequately.
