Hi All,
I'm trying to do something that I think seems straightforward and simple. I want to clip a portion of a living atlas layer (which I've loaded onto my map in arcgis Pro), using a study area boundary polygon (that I've custom defined and also added to the map). I usually use the "extract by mask" tool to do this to a raster dataset, or "clip raster". However, when I attempt to run either of these to a living atlas layer, it seems to take forever. I've tried letting it run, but for some reason it yields a huge file (8gb?) for a 2000 acre study area. Obviously I'm doing something wrong? I know the living atlas layer often represents an entire continent/planet of imagery so they must be huge. But what is the best practice for actually extracting useful pieces from it for analysis?
Please advise.
