    <p>Hi Nicolas:</p>
    <p>try the -b 1 parameter.  I just tried this and wrote a single
      band raster from a 3 channel tiff.</p>

      <h2>"Opening options</h2>
      <p>By default, the driver will expose a GeoPackage dataset as a
        four band (Red,Green, Blue,Alpha) dataset, which gives the
        maximum compatibility with the various encodings of tiles that
        can be stored. It is possible to specify an explicit number of
        bands with the BAND_COUNT opening option."</p>
      <p>The problem could be when QGIS Reads the file, not when it
        writes the file.  I explains why we see 4 bands but not why
        values are changing.  I would make a bug report or ask the
        question on the gdal dev group to get Even Rouault's attention.<br>

                              everybody. I have an issue regarding the
                              Geopackage format. I have tried to import
                              a singleband raster file (it represents
                              the land cover, thus every pixel has a
                              single integer value corresponding to the
                              land cover class), but this operation
                              seems to modify the raster
                              characteristics: the raster becomes a
                              4-bands raster and the pixels values
                              change accordingly (basically, the
                              original raster is saved in the Geopackage
                              as an RGB image). It seems to be a bug of
                              QGIS. I have also tried to use GDAL
                              translate through the processing toolbox
                              of QGIS to convert the TIFF file to a
                              Geopackage file, but the result is the
                              same.</span></p>
