Dear Lene,

1st solution
Open ASCII GRID as a raster layer and in the context menu of the layer select Save as...

2nd solution
From the Raster menu select Conversion -> Translate (Convert format),
select input and output raster and format.

This way you get a single band raster which is not the most beautiful as a background layer. You had better to make a color relief (Raster menu -> Analysis -> DEM) and a hillshade. Use blending of the color relief and hillshade to get a nice terrain background in QGIS 2.

Regards,
Zoltan

Hi,
This might be easy - but right now I´m "blind"

Have a large 1.4 Gb Ascii raster image covering DTM Mexico.
I want to save it as an image - no data just to use as a background.

How is this done?

Regards
Lene Fischer
