Thank you Even for this new feature.

Hope it will be handy to many more!

Hi Even,
my usual question would be: any plan to backport it? :-)
Not really. I guess this is a new feature.

As currently, our policy is to be rather conservative for what goes in stable
branches, so people can upgrade from one micro version to another one
blindlessly.
Regarding that particular feature, it could potentially be backported, but
then where to draw the limit ? At some point, one such backport will undoubtly
cause a regression elsewhere, or will have bugs, causing more stabilization
work in stable branches.

Potential solutions:
- More frequent major.minor.0 releases that our ~ 1 year schedule
- Less conservative policy backport policy in regular stable branches that
would allow some new features to be added, but within the current limits of no
ABI change, no backward incompatibilities.
- An extra -backport branch that would have a less conservative policy. To be
defined what would be the limits: ABI changes allowed or not ?, backward
incompatibilities ? Would potentially only of interest for people who can
build from source as it would be unlikely to be widely packaged.

All would need extra staffing / funding.

Another option that already exists: live on the bleeding edge and build from
trunk ;-)

Even

Cheers,
Daniele

Dear list,

Currently we are working with 4 band tifs, first 3 bands as normal
RBG and the 4th as IR. On performing a warp operation from and to a
VRT, GDAL seems considering the 4th band as alpha, resulting in full
black pixels if 4th band value =0.
gdalwarp will consider the 4th band as alpha... only if it is
effectively tagged as alpha in the source. You can check it with
gdalinfo

Some attempts were made to solve this issue, so far without success:

- Using the warp creation options PHOTOMETRIC=RGB and ALPHA=NO
This will not influence the warping kernel.

- Manually editing the source VRT and replace Alpha color
interpretation

to Undefined
This one should work. Strange that this doesn't work for you.

Does anyone have more suggestions?
I've just committed an improvement in trunk: "gdalwarp: add a -nosrcalpha
option to wrap the alpha band as a regular band and not as the alpha
band"

Thank you
