Howto view an image in Google Earth

The Problem:
I have an image I wish to view on Google Earth.

The Solution:
I assume you have an image in jpg or tiff or gif format. and you have a world file for it or can create one. Then, all you need to do is to run the image2kml.csh script.
just download (~1kb), apply execution privilege (chmod +x [ScriptFileName])
and run it. or visit my scripts page
Tip:
gif format image can support transparency you can use GIMP or other image manipulation program to turn unwanted parts of the image to be transparent so you can see the Google Earth layover under the image.
