Well, quite a lot going wrong here, I think. :-)

First of all, you created a BGR image, instead of an RGB image.
Now I think about it, maybe that is the source of ALL your
problems. :-)

But I don't see why your are fooling around with the MAXES.
That part makes no sense at all to me, since BYTSCL would
do all this on its own.

I don't understand what you are doing to get "the int of
each channel", but perhaps if you get the image planes
in the right order this would be moot.

Cheers,

David
