Hi,

I noticed this question from gis.stackexchange 
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/378557/gdalwarp-does-not-use-lanczos-resampling-on-image-with-alpha-channel/378569?noredirect=1#comment618912_378569

It seems that alpha band has some bad effect on the result of lanczos 
resampling and that can be avoided by using -noscralpha option. From the 
gdalwarp manual page:
"Prevent the alpha band of a source image to be considered as such (it will be 
warped as a regular band)".

The option has been added to GDAL version 2.2 but with no mention about any bug 
that it resolved. What is the difference between warping a band as an alpha 
band or as a regular band? How users are supposed to know when it is 
appropriate to use -nosrcalpha switch?
