Color composite

A color composite is a combination of three raster bands. One band is displayed in shades of red, one in shades of green and one in shades of blue. Putting three bands together in one color composite map can give a better visual impression of the reality on the ground, than by displaying one band at a time. Examples of color composites are false color (or IR) images and 'natural color' images.

The Color Composite operation on the Operations, Image Processing menu creates a permanent color composite raster map.

To interactively display a map list as a color composite (16 or 24-bit), choose Show MapList as Color Composite from the Operations, Visualization menu. Interactive color composites can be stored by saving the map window as a map view.
