I'm trying to use RasterClipOverlay to extract an area on GeoTIFF defined by a polygon. FME is currently giving me the incorrect area.

Can you check both  the Geotiff and the PostGIS raster are in the same coordinate system? Maybe also desegregate all the polygons, if there are multi part polygons

I have checked the coordinate reference system and both are in the same 3395.  I had included transformers to ensure this but they didn’t make any difference so removed them to keep my model simple as possible.

I have since ensure my polygons and not multi and that has not made any difference either.

Out of interest, how are you checking the coordinate system? You should inspect both inputs into the problem transformer, opening the ‘Feature Information’. Please send screenshots of the geometry section of the feature information window

I have updated the workspace with Coordinate setters to be sure the CRS is used.  However, the end result is the same.  I can confirm that the data is the CRS that I applied with these transformers.  Running SELECT DISTINCT(st_srid(geom) FROM TABLE_NAME on the database returns 3395.  If I inspect the image directly before any transformer it also in WORLD MERCATOR 3395.

  I emphasise the GDAL is correctly handling the same task.

Is there a reason why you use the FME Hub transformer RasterClipOverlay instead of the official Clipper transformer?

Thank you, this is probably the solution.  I had forgotten I could use the clipper for raster.   However, how can I use Clipper and ensure the outside area of the image is transparent?  This is something that RasterClipOverlay would do automatically.
