I have an 8-bit raster image (jp2) which I need to convert to ecw format. A fatal error occurred and the message was "ECW writer: This format does not support writing the RGB/RGBA bands in the raster with other extra bands. Please remove the extra bands and try again". How can I fix it?

Hopefully that helps,
