Double click on topo_utm32_WGS84 to open Layer Properties --> Transparency and change Global transparency to about 70% by moving the slider. Apply.

• Open geodata\raster\uav\DJI00857_entzerrt.tif in a general image viewer (e.g. MS Windows photo viewer) and rotate the image such that it is correctly oriented to the north direction which facilitates the selection of ground control points. This UAV photo does not contain any information on a spatial reference system. Just press ESC to load the image. Open Project --> Project Properties , choose EPSG:3857, WGS 84 / Pseudo Mercator and check Enable 'on the fly' CRS transformation on.
