Hi all,

What is the relationship between the "PER_DATASET_ALPHA" mask of the RGB bands in a raster dataset, and the Alpha Channel? I created a four-band tiff file with gdalwarp from an RGB original. On creation, the fourth band has all values set to 255, and the whole picture is visible. However, when setting parts of the fourth band to zero with gdal_rasterize, everything remains visible. Could that be caused by the Mask Flags of the first three channels, and, if so, what can I do about it?

Band 1 Block=4016x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Red
  Mask Flags: PER_DATASET ALPHA
Band 2 Block=4016x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Green
  Mask Flags: PER_DATASET ALPHA
Band 3 Block=4016x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Blue
  Mask Flags: PER_DATASET ALPHA
Band 4 Block=4016x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Alpha
