Hi! Today I had to do a visualization in ParaView, and noticed a difference when opening the same TIFF dataset from [opentopography](https://opentopography.org/)
dataset: [output\_alos.tif](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/2UndVMk8LZvFWeD2CmkIdHDvTlR.tif) (2.1 MB)
Version 5.7 or older with view direction = -Z:
Version 5.8 same view direction:
I don’t know if it’s a bug or not, but this change affects a lot of the programmable filters that I often use in this type of datasets because of the point by point loops, so I tought of creating a topic here
I’m using 5.7 for now to use my old recipes, but if it’s a change for good I will update those
Best regards,

Can you open the same dataset in QGis? Is it shown the same or different than the latest paraview?

So, I’ve never used QGIS … I’ve just installed it so the colors are not like in the paraview viz
It shows the data as version \<= 5.7

This is a georeferenced tiff, so you’ll need GDAL Raster Reader to open this correctly.
I just tried and it looks the same as in QGIS. You’ll need to compile ParaView with PARAVIEW\_ENABLE\_GDAL (and have gdal installed on your machine) to get this reader.
