    <p>Hi all:</p>
    <p>I ran the r.stats to get a list of each pixel value on my test
      data (A small DEM) before and after conversion to a geopackage
      (see second image below).  The values and summary stats are
      identical for the two rasters but the default legend entry has a
      different min and maximum value.  So, I can conclude that the data
      is being written correctly but the default display parameters for
      the geopackage  are different than a geotiff.  <br>

                                      becomes a 4-bands raster and the
                                      pixels values change accordingly
                                      (basically, the original raster is
                                      saved in the Geopackage as an RGB

                                      convert the TIFF file to a
