Research direction
Start with instructor/05-raster-multi-band-in-r.html, the lesson section linked in the issue, and review the true-color raster plotting example. Update it to omit the standard-order r=1, g=2, b=3 arguments and add a spoiler or callout explaining when explicit band arguments are needed; the revised lesson should render clearly and preserve the unexpected-band-order guidance.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
How could the content be improved?
At our workshop today at UW-Madison, the instructor left out the r=1, g=2, b=3 arguments since those are not needed if the band are in standard rgb order. To save some typing, I recommend we change this in the lesson and instead add a spoiler or callout mentioning that you can specify if the layers are in an unexpected order instead.
