Michael,
ASTER L1B data allocates 0 for dummy or null cells. 1 is reserved for
areas of zero radiance. These and other values are defined in the ASTER
Users Handbook and is consistent with my experience.
You shouldn't have to go through all the extra effort to ensure deep
absorbers are 'visible'.

image, I'd probably have to make a 'null mask' with the map calculator,
setting to null any pixel that is 0 in all bands, and setting the rest to 1.
Then I multiply each image by the null mask. If you have a faster way, I'd
love to know about it.

Thanks. That makes my life much easier for this.
