Satellite sensor information
1st method
• Right click at the image layer → save as → select map view extent
2nd method
• QGIS 3 => Raster → extraction → clip raster by extent → In clipping extent
→ click “…” → use layer/canvas extent → use canvas extent → name your
output file and save
• QGIS 2.18 => Raster → extraction → clipper → extent → drag on canvas →
name your output file and save
Extract only specific area
QGIS 2.18 QGIS 3.0
