 +Sometimes when you download satellite imagery using terra incognita there are very few black tiles in the oziexplorer images. I don't know why this happens... but you can fix it by simply re-saving the same oziexplorer image (set).
 +
 +Oh that "sometimes" means that ... its ALMOST every terrain save you do (meaning one out of four corners). The amount of black tiles I got while doing PMC Taiwan terrains in oct 2021 was very high, so high that I had to do [[real-world-data-tutorial|real world data]] tool pipeline task to check saved corner JPGs with [[:editing_tools#image_editing|irFanview]] before even making global mapper map catalog.
 +
 +This is why its important that after you finish DOWNLOADING satellite imagery you do not delete terra incognita CACHE directory / files until you have confirmed that all oziexplorer images are without black tiles.
 +
 +Use irFanview or similar quick image viewer to check all the JPG images, if you find any black tiles then simply terra incognita re-save oziexplorer and check again until no more black tiles are present.
