RasterLayer from TIF file not reading metadata .xml

YasunariTosa1 — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 18:58:57 GMT

Reading a USGS created tif file (n10_ak.tif) with metadata .xml (n10_ak.tif.xml) by RasterLayer ctor. The result of RasterLayer SpatialReference and FullExtent.SpatialReference are both null. ArcGISPro v.3.41 read it and no problem showing in map. Interestingly another USGS created tif file (USGS_SIM-3340_1.tif) and metadata xml (USGS_SIM-3340_1.tif.aux.xml) are read by RasterLayer and have SpatialReference correctly set. The format of xml file is different between the two. Is there a way to n10_ak.tif to have a spatial reference read? RasterLayer SpatialReference and FullExtent.SpatialReference are getter only. I cannot post tiff files with associated xml files, since the file extension is tif and xml are not supported and the file size is bigger than 9MB.

ArcGISPro has no problem reading the file and show on the map.
