<div>PS. gdalwarp offers more flexibility
when mosaicing rasters, and is better at memory management. I have
just noticed that in GDAL 1.10 and above there is an gdalwarp
option -setci that 'Sets the color interpretation of the bands of
the target dataset from the source dataset'. This could be used to
remove the assignment of the alpha channel to the IR band on
merging. Sadly there isn't an example of its usage!<div class="im"><br>

<div>All the shadows are a whitey colour. This doesn't happen
with 3-band (RGB) images.</div>
<div>I've tried comparing individual bands; they all look
different in the 4-band.</div>

</div>
<div>However, if I open the four-band in ArcGIS, it looks fine
(both source and original).</div>

<div>Anyone know what's going on? Is it a QGIS bug or is it
doing something "smart"; I can't see anything odd going on
with symbology.<br>
