How do I convert Mosaic to New raster in ArcGIS?

How do I convert Mosaic to New raster in ArcGIS?

Open the Mosaic To New Raster tool by navigating to ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Raster > Raster Dataset.

  1. Insert the raster files.
  2. Select the output location.
  3. Specify a name and extension for the output.
  4. Specify the pixel type.
  5. Specify the number of bands.

How do you make a raster mosaic?

Create the mosaic dataset.

  1. In the Catalog pane, locate the geodatabase where you want to save the mosaic dataset.
  2. Right-click the geodatabase and select Create Mosaic Dataset.
  3. Name the mosaic dataset and select an appropriate coordinate system.
  4. Optionally select a Product Definition.
  5. Define the Pixel Type.

What is a mosaic raster?

A mosaic is a combination or merge of two or more images. In ArcGIS, you can create a single raster dataset from multiple raster datasets by mosaicking them together. Alternatively, you can create a mosaic dataset and create a virtual mosaic from a collection of raster datasets.

How do you Mosaick raster data in ArcGIS?

Right-click the existing raster dataset that will contain the mosaic, point to Load, then click Load Data. The Mosaic tool dialog box appears. Click the Input Rasters browse button, navigate to and choose the raster datasets to be mosaicked. You can navigate to more than one location.

What are the input raster datasets in ArcGIS?

The input raster datasets are all the raster datasets you would like to mosaic together. The inputs must have the same number of bands and same bit depth; otherwise, the tool will exit with an error message. When working with a large number of raster datasets, the Raster Catalog To Raster Dataset tool performs more efficiently.

Can a GIF be used with a mosaic dataset?

The GIF format only supports single-band raster datasets. When mosaicking with raster datasets containing color maps, it is important to note differences across the color maps for each raster dataset you choose to mosaic.

Do you need an ArcEditor license to use mosaic?

If the output of a mosaic operation needs to be a new raster dataset, this can be accomplished by either creating a new, empty raster dataset prior to running the Mosaic tool or using the Mosaic To New Raster tool. Mosaicking that is performed in an ArcSDE geodatabase requires an ArcEditor or ArcInfo license.
