Chaitanya,

Yes, this method would certainly work!  My private suggestion
to Greg was that he use the gdal_merge.py script with the -separate
switch which stacks input files as bands in a merged file.

But the VRT method would also work well.

Best regards,

Dear Greg,

I am new here. So correct me if I am wrong.
Try using Virtual Format files. More info at
http://www.gdal.org/gdal_vrttut.html

You should be able to create a VRTRasterBand for each band with the
corresponding source.
gtif_RGB.vrt would look something like this...

<VRTDataset rasterXSize="1172" rasterYSize="1864">
  <VRTRasterBand dataType="Byte" band="1">
    <SourceFilename relativetoVRT="1">gtif_R.tif</SourceFilename>
  </VRTRasterBand>
  <VRTRasterBand dataType="Byte" band="2">
    <SourceFilename relativetoVRT="1">gtif_G.tif</SourceFilename>
  </VRTRasterBand>
  <VRTRasterBand dataType="Byte" band="3">
    <SourceFilename relativetoVRT="1">gtif_B.tif</SourceFilename>
  </VRTRasterBand>
</VRTDataset>

I have 3 single band GeoTIF images of the same geographic area: one
for the Red band, one for the Green band, and one for the Blue band,
gtif_R.tif, gtif_G.tif, gtif_B.tif.  Please, what is the
gdal_translate syntax http://www.gdal.org/gdal_translate.html to
combine these 3 single band GeoTIF images into 1 three band RGB
GeoTIF image, gtif_RGB.tif?
