The multiple reclassify tools in the spatial analyst toolbox (Reclass, Lookup, Reclass by ASCII file, Reclass by table) do not support a floating point output raster. It would be great if this can be implemented.

The present workaround I follow is to multiply the required floating point numbers by a large number, run the reclass tools to create an integer output and then use the divide tool to get the required floating point raster.

Want to bump this  up as recently I have found the need to reclassify range of pixel values into floats and was surprised to discover the reclassify tool only supports integer format as output.

I have a work around but it would be good if the reclassify and reclassify by table accept floats as an output format.

Yes, there are workarounds, but a straight conversion to a floating point raster would be really welcome!
