opening a geotiff query

Hi,

I have a geotiff file. Can gimp open it, allow me to view it as greyscale terrrain and export as bmp?

Thanks

It's been a long time since I worked with geotiffs in Gimp, but my experience was that it opens the file like any other tiff format, but you lose all the metadata. Though since you are exporting as bmp, maybe that doesn't matter in this use case? In my case I had utilities that could extract the metadata and then restore it into "normal" tiff format files that I exported out of Gimp.

Hi scott,

I'm needing to export to have a usable height map to import into 3d modeling program therefore I would need also to extract the metadata and restore it into a "normal" tiff.

What utilities did you use, if you can remember ?

Thanks
