[GIS] cropping gtif with gdal_translate or qgis clipper

gdal-translateqgis

I have a Gtiff which loads into QGIS and seems to be OK. It's a US topo. When I try to clip it to remove the margins it fails (from QGIS or from cmd line) with this error:

dt1:gdal_translate -projwin 253.875 38.625 254 38.5 -of GTiff  CO_Salida_West_451198_1983_24000_geo.tif topo.tif

Input file size is 6579, 8096
Computed -srcwin 3441 7202 0 0 from projected window.
Error: Computed -srcwin 3441 7202 0 0 has negative width and/or height.

I also tried it with the corresponding negative value for longitude
The output from gdalinfo:

Best Answer

Check your coordinations values and order of them. I had same problem because I had wrong order of coordination values. You recieved this error when output size of raster is negative.
