When I perform a clip using the Clip tool (Data Management Tools/Raster/Raster Processing/Clip) based on the output extent of a shapefile, the resulting raster is extremely rough around the edges, causing the image to look pixelated. In a perfect world, the raster would snap to the extent of the polygon, making for smooth/clean edges...

This was causing my resulting raster to have a larger cell size thus a lower resolution. Dumb mistake -- hopefully someone will find this helpful <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:">😄</span></SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 29 May 2013 16:15:10 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/clip-raster-based-on-polygon-shape/m-p/167443#M9381 TimothyBoe 2013-05-29T16:15:10Z
