Description
A common kludge for three band satellite images is to reserve either 0,0,0 or 255,255,255 for no data. Many satellite images have significant background data. To mosaic images effectively requires a mechanism to make the nodata areas transparent.

A more general proposal would certainly be preferred. Transparency is not handled elegantly within scientific systems. As formats, PNG and TIFF do about the best for RGB images. My preference within QGIS would be to set the value for each band as a metadata/symbology property. Old school but simple and independent of raster format.

This is being addresses in the raster transparency branch and is largely completed. Feedback on the modification in the branch from the original poster of this ticket would be great.
