[GIS] Opening GeoTIFF (georeferenced in ArcGIS for Desktop) in QGIS

arcgis-desktopgeoreferencinggeotiff-tiffqgisraster

I tried to open a georeferenced geotiff created in ArcGIS for Desktop in QGIS.

I could open them, but they are not in the right spot.

These raster datasets contains .aux .rrd .tfwx .tif.aux.xml .tif.xml and .tif files.
I can open them in ArcMap without problem.

Am I missing something?

Under Settings -> Options, CRS tab, enable Prompt for CRS for new layers.

Then you will be asked explicitely for the CRS, which should be the same as you georeferenced to in Arcgis.

You might get a datum shift of up to 100m, as this is not stored by Arcgis. But QGIS has bundled the shift with the common projection definitions.
