[gdal-dev] creating multi banded imagery

[Lucena, Ivan]

Matt,

If you try BigTiff, GeoTiff with recent improvements, you can also 
archive what you are looking for but the resulting files will not be 
supported by softwares that are not updates for BigTiff. I asked some 
software vendors about that and they said that are planning to support 
BigTiff in about a year or more.

Best regards,

Ivan
