A GeoTIFF can hold an alpha band. This is one of the bands of the primary data IFD but is defined to hold alpha values that refer to the other bands.
Since the alpha band originates as one of the
databands, we do not remove the alpha band from the primary array.But in order to match rasterio semantics in
as_masked, we need to check for thealphaband and then set mask values according to that band.alphaband inas_maskedso that we match rasterio semantics.Other references:
