Tacot, You could have used a small shell script like this for converting all the tif files. for f in *.tif; do echo "$f -> new_$f"; gdal_translate -of GTiff -expand RGB -co compress=lzw $f new_$f; done
The issue is reported as a warning in the trunk version of GDAL. It will appear in gdal-1.8.0 Your images had only one band of 8-bit pixels. The colors are interpreted using a color table. You can see it in the output of gdalinfo. By using the -expand RGB option in gdal_translate, you are creating a new tiff with three bands, one each for Red, Green and Blue colors. This way, all the image files will have the same values for any color. Note that your color table also had the alpha channel, but I ignored it since all of them were 255. Refer to http://www.gdal.org/gdal_utilities.html for documentation on various gdal utilities.
