Geotiff supports multiple bands.  If your workflow is set up to generate a single band at a time, you can use gdalbuildvrt <a href="https://gdal.org/programs/gdalbuildvrt.html" id="LPlnk">https://gdal.org/programs/gdalbuildvrt.html</a> to make a virtual multiband

<br>
Is it possible to write multiple dimensions to a raster such as a GeoTIFF? For example: Z, Classification, Intensity, Red, Green, and Blue.<br>
<br>
If not, is there a different format (IMG, etc.) that supports doing so?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Andreas<br>
