to sum up: * r.in.gdal differs from most raster modules in that it imports the entire map and ignores the current region. * gdal_translate can be used to crop out an area of interest before import with its -projwin or -srcwin options. * after import any subsequent raster module will respect the region settings, so in effect crop to the current region. The most basic example of this is: "r.mapcalc "cropped = imported". * r.composite is lossy, which is important for analytical tasks but not for visual use. If analyzing the data keep it in individual R,G,B bands.
