but note that you will lose information. the 3 bands will
probably be stored with 256 bit precision, r.composite will
reduce fidelity down to probably 32 bit.

If you are doing any numerical analysis on satellite images, etc,
this matters a lot and it's best to work with the raw bands, d.rgb,
etc. If you are just using it for visual use maybe it doesn't
matter.
