QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — Raster Blaster supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Speed up georeferencing processing using GDAL and full system resources.
About
QGIS plugin that streamlines your raster georeferencing workflow by wiring GDAL directly into the Georeferencer interface and utilising your system's available resources. It adds buttons for every step—from reading your GCPs through to generating Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs)—all without ever leaving QGIS. Features include off-thread background processing with a live progress bar, a Performance panel for thread/cache control, user-selectable CRS, GCP validation warnings, and persistent settings.
