Thank you all for looking into it. If it's not possible to enlarge it, I guess i'll have to go the swipe map route. ... View more

Hi Lawrence, Are you working with a raster? If so, I've recently had the same problem and as always there are probably multiple reasons why and ways to go about trouble-shooting. I have 10.2 as well. What I tried that was ultimately successful was to build pyramids and statistics. This tool can be found in the Toolbox under Raster-->Raster Properties-->Build Pyramids and Statistics. Just setting the scale on the layer in the table of contents didn't seem to have any results for me, though I'm not discouraging you from trying that as well. -Jared ... View more

@ Dan: I read that, thanks. @ Jayanta: What you see of the image in this attachment is after giving it a spatial reference in ArcCatalog. I can't start adding any control points to this raster as for some reason it's not all there. So, I carried out the proceeding steps which did work: 1. Add raster and basemap to Desktop 2. Add control points 3. On the Georeference Toolbar, "Update Georeferencing" - this worked in giving it a GCS 4. Left click on the layer and "save as a layer file" 5. In the File menu, "Share as" then "Tile Package" After publishing the tiles in AGOL, I'm still having the same problems with portions disappearing: Notice the corner missing on the smaller raster and the top missing on the bigger raster. Before this, I had a small problem with the whole raster disappearing after zoomed in past a certain scale. But to remedy that I deleted that image and went back to Desktop. On Desktop I brought the file back in and "Share as", "Tile Package" window under "Tile Format" I gave it the highest level of detail: "Building". Of course, this took the longest as it had the most tiles to upload, but I was at least able to zoom in enough to read the raster. But, now portions are missing? Thanks to both of you for the help so far. ... View more

This was also a clean image. As in, I downloaded it again from the website, so it didn't have any orientation to ArcMap. ... View more

Hi Jayanta, I attempted defining the spatial reference in ArcCatalog and in ArcToolbox. It gave me this message: ... View more

Sephe, Yes, at first I ran through these steps and everything was fine, all the way up to final step of creating the web app (swipe map). Maybe it was a glitch but after trying on another image, using the same process, the GCS would be there one minute and gone the next. I actually deleted the tile package from AGOL now to start all over. So, the whole web app is discontinued for now- until I get passed this glitch. ... View more

Hi Dan, I georeferenced the images to the basemap and it gave them WGS 84, the same GCS the data frame has. The top of the two attached sceenshots shows the message I got after georeferencing and rectifying the image. I checked in the layer's properties tab to make sure it had a GCS and it did, WGS 84. And when analyzing in the Tile Package menu it still gave me this error? The bottom of the two attachments shows when I attempted to georeference another image. I georeferenced Wesley Tnsp first and it took on WGS 84. When I georeferenced Wilmington1870 Wesley was gone and so was it's GCS. I had to add all the control points all over again and GCS disappears again when trying to analyze it, and so on and so forth over again.. ... View more

@ Sephe: I was referring to the message in the Add Data window when trying to import data to AGOL. @ Owen: Thanks for the reply. After building the tiles on the Desktop I was able to publish the layer in AGOL. This was only possible, I realized, after removing the basemap from the ArcMap table of contents. Before I removed it I couldn't get past the Analyze step because the basemap was causing an error. But then I ran into more problems as you can see here. The georeferenced image isn't legible and a good 1/3 of it is cut off (a section that would be on the west side of the river). And when zoomed in part of the image goes away. Actually, after downloading the image from the primary source and adding it to ArcMap it lost some of its clarity. I don't even know if that can be avoided? Thanks again for your help. ... View more

Jake, Can you tell me where you were when you set the point layer to public? I have a story map that requires signing in for other people and I'm pretty sure I have everything public. thanks, Jared ... View more

I understand the image has to be georeferenced to a raster to obtain coordinates for it. So, am I wasting my time trying to georeference the image to a basemap? I've tried Orbview-3 but for such a small area the resolution is too blurred. Best, Jared ... View more

Great thanks. Would you also know how to get a better image in ArcMap? I have a bmp, tiff, png and jpg of this image. But, all are really grainy once uploaded. This is the image I'm trying to georeference to a basemap. The buildings in the image are not at all at a similar angle to the buildings in the basemap, so it isn't the greatest idea to do this. And aerial images are always overhead. -Jared ... View more
