Description
Hi. I generated 2 bitmaps from CADRG's using:
gdal_translate.exe A.TOC output.bmp -sds
The output was:
Input file size is 6144, 7680 0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done. Input file size is 6144, 1536 0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.
and output.bmp1 and output.bmp2 were generated, both with 24-bit color.
When I typed:
python gdal_merge.py output.bmp1 output.bmp2
I got back a file, out.tif that was black and white.
I've repeated this test using .png's and .tif's as intermediates, as well as using them out the final output format. I've also tried gdal_merge.py with just one input file, but no matter what, I still get a black and white image.
Is this an actual bug or could I be misconfigured (I'm working in Windows XP using GDAL 1.5.2). If so, is there a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance.

Closing the bug report. It turned out that I just needed to delete the output file and add -pct at the end of the command.
