    Hi Inna,<br>
    <br>
    Do you mean based on a calculation (expression)?<br>
    <br>
    Unfortunately, this is not possible yet. You'd have to calculate a
    new raster file for that.<br>
    <br>
    It would be an interesting addition to QGIS - if you really care
    about it you might consider sponsoring this as a new feature. The
    expression engine is already quite powerful in QGIS - so it should
    be possible.<br>
    <br>
    ---------------------<br>
    <br>
    Actually - there may be a workaround by (but not too intuitive). I
    believe you can create a virtual raster file (VRT) where you can do
    calculations. It is basically an XML file where you can mix/change
    channels or do calculations on the raster. This is done on the fly.
    So instead of loading your original raster - you would load the VRT
    file - which contains and applies the calculations on the fly.<br>
    <br>
    See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gdal.org/gdal_vrttut.html">http://www.gdal.org/gdal_vrttut.html</a><br>
    <br>
    Hope this helps,<br>
    Andreas<br>
