Saving a Georeferenced JPG

MelissaBryant — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:15:06 GMT

I have downloaded a raster image and a JPG. I opened a blank map document and added both layers. I select Georeferencing, add control points and line my JPG up over the raster image. I want to save that and don't know how. When I select update Georeferencing and then select rectify, I receive an error when I click save. The error is "failed to save raster dataset".

I do not know how to save what I did after georeferencing my jpg.

Thanks for any guidance I can receive.

After adding your control points, you can select Update Georeferencing or Rectify. The former puts information in an aux.xml file and world file that tells software how to display it properly, but it doesn't otherwise change the image. Rectify produces a new image which gets rid of any rotation, and requires some interpolation. I would suggest searching Help on georeferencing, since there are other options and information on georeferencing that you might like to use and which may help explain your error message.
