I am trying to import my TIFF file as a GeoTIFF, but the program does not recognize it although it has the *.tfw file that includes projection parameters. What is wrong?

A GeoTIFF file is a single file with *.TIF extension. The projection parameters of the image are embedded in the file itself. Therefore, you can not tell the difference between a GeoTIFF or TIFF image by just looking at the file, as they have the same extensions. The *.tfw file is only a file for ARC-World products to understand the extents of the raster images. TNT products have the ability to read this extent information, but you still have to import it as a TIFF, and set the projection parameters to import it to the correct geographical location.
