Add LYR File to Mosaic Dataset

AlinPlesoianu — Thu, 03 Nov 2016 09:28:14 GMT

Hello!

I have a LYR file that references two rasters and applies raster functions on them. How can I insert that lyr file to a Mosaic Dataset? I tried with Add Rasters, but I could not have it done.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks!

My rasters are in .jp2 format (JPEG 2000), so they should be compatible. I need to insert them both, as the functions applied only work like that.

I am getting a feeling that you have applied the raster function from Image Analysis Options of ArcMap, which has resulted in a single output layer (temporary layer, not a raster dataset). You could just export the layer (Right-click the Layer > Data > Export Data) to a Raster dataset. No need to create Mosaic Dataset for that.

Check Exporting a raster in ArcMap for the procedure.
