I would like to change all raster values in raster A that fall into the locations of category/class 1 of raster B.

Here, some more details. I did a calculation on a DEM resulting in different topography layers which I summed up to raster A. Now, I have a polygon map which I transferred into raster B. The class 1 of raster B should be an area that has only values of 1 in raster A. So I would like to use map algebra to change this (perhaps using a complex if() statement in GRASS GIS?)

I think I could have prevented all this earlier by simply applying a mask to the raster A before the calculations. However, the calculations took quite a while (2hours) so I would not like to repeat all the steps again...

any help is very much appreciated! Jens

in GRASS GIS using the map calculator

if(rasterA == 1, rasterB == 0, rasterB)
