Hi,
I have a set of unreferenced RGB images with black borders I want to cut
off. I do this by adding a fourth alpha band to the image when warping
it, and filling this with 255 within the data rectangle, and 0 outside,
using gdal_rasterize ( I have the exact georeferenced boundaries of the
image as vector data). Nothing happens. When I do the same thing for the
first three bands, results are as expected, but whatever I do with the
fourth band has no effect at all.
Theoretically, this should work, but is there a problem with gdal's
implementation of alpha transparency? The following post seems to
suggest it:

I didn't try out the suggested solution yet, as I would prefer the
simpler method above. Is there really a problem with gdal's handling of
alpha transparency, or is there another workaround?
