This exercise is part of the QGIS Tutorial 2013/14.
In this exercise you will learn how to create images of several bands of satellite data, and how to georeference a raster image.

Multiband layers

To create a multiband image:

1. Load the different satellite band layers into QGIS. For exercise purposes, you can use the landsat-bands from the directory geodata/raster/landsat/landsat457/ in the course data; the layer names start with sub, the band number is indicated by B and a two-digit number, e.g. B10 for the first band, B20 for the second.
2. Go to Raster --> Miscellaneous --> Merge or select Processing --> Toolbox and search for merge.
