idea Export TIFF with transparent background in ArcGIS Pro Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/export-tiff-with-transparent-background/idi-p/974257 <P>When I add a raster image to ArcGIS and Georeference it, an export as TIFF results in the raster with a rectangular black background. In ArcGIS this background can be set to transparent, but the exported TIFF can not have transparent background.<BR />I would like this option so that the exported TIFF can be used in graphic (non-GIS) software. When I now open an exported TIFF and remove the black background in my graphi application, the result can no longer be used by ArcGIS.<BR /><IMG src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/204404_0EM30000000D0Dj" border="0" alt="0EM30000000D0Dj" /></P><!-- content transformation source ID: 08730000000by1b --> Fri, 25 Mar 2022 18:49:53 GMT TiemenSlingerland 2022-03-25T18:49:53Z Export TIFF with transparent background https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/export-tiff-with-transparent-background/idi-p/974257 <P>When I add a raster image to ArcGIS and Georeference it, an export as TIFF results in the raster with a rectangular black background.
