Extract band from multiband/multispectral BSQ image

I’m not certain how to import MSB format binary in g’mic, I had to do that in a couple steps (first basically converts to LSB file but mirrored):
gmic -i raw:2n289977682xylb0eop1965l0m1.img,uint8 mirror y -o raw:mytest,uint8
gmic raw:mytest,float32,1024,1024 mirror xy

I have no doubt there’s a better way to do that, I just don’t have the knowledge. Once it’s in g’mic, there are lots of ways to visualize it. I may come back later with more info if David does not.
