I am trying to get a clipped version of  this map image layer into a web map but am having trouble getting there. I've successfully clipped other layers to the same shape (a watershed boundary) in Pro. However, the map image layer I want to clip is not populating in the input drop down in the clip tool. What am I missing? Is it possible to clip a map image layer? I've tried clipping it from the web map itself, but it is also not populating the "Input features" list over there. The map image layer has been added to the map both in Pro and the web map.

Hi @KristenM19 , I believe you're running into a limitation with Map Image Layers. I don't think they can be directly used as inputs for most geoprocessing tools like Clip in ArcGIS Pro or Web Map geoprocessing widgets unless certain conditions are met. I looked inside the REST endpoint of the service and it has a feature layer in it 

https://maps.dsl.state.or.us/arcgis/rest/services/ESH/MapServer/0

Try adding it as a feature layer instead of the whole map image layer, it should be clipable then.
