Above are the details pasted directly from the about QGIS menu option. I switched to QGIS 1.9 to avoid the flickering white box that occurs in QGIS 1.8 when trying to manipulate vectors. That problem is fixed in QGIS 1.9. However, I've discovered a different display issue that was not a problem in 1.8. When I load images with decimal values below 1 and stretch them using min/max, I get an image that appears to be missing the blue band. I've tried numerous combinations of bands that I'm familiar with and the images always look like they are missing the blue band. However, if I simply multiple all three bands by 255 (I suspect 100 would work work fine too) and restack, the image displays correctly with blues where I expect even if the image is still floating point. I've attached two screen shots of the same PALSAR image stretched using the same extent, but with all of the bands of one image multiplied by 255. You can see that the color levels for the red and green bands are the same and that only the blue band appears to be missing.

If is a regression since qgis <= 1.8 then is a blocker issue.

#2 Updated by Theron Morgan-Brown over 11 years ago

This problem isn't replicated on my MAC where I also have QIS 1.9. There, both images appear identical and correctly show blue when stretched using the same extent. However, the version I have on my MAC doesn't include the fancy new histogram and stretching features found in the version I have on ubuntu.

#3 Updated by Theron Morgan-Brown over 11 years ago

Yes, blocking caused by some of these new histogram controls seems like a possibility.

can you attach a subset of the original image here?
