MRsid in arcgis pro

[AntonyLopez]

Pretty straight forward, I am not a power user, but is there a way to get .sid files to work on ArcGIS Pro, or is it only possible in ArcMap?

Hi, Data Interoperability extension can read Lizardtech MrSID.  The workflow would be to convert the data to a supported raster dataset.

How do you use Data Interoperability to convert MrSID files? It is not listed in the FME Reader Gallery.

[GregNewkirk]

I found it in the Data Inspector. It did not appear in the Quick Import Tool.

strange, since according to

Raster file formats—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop 

they should be able to be read

Multiresolution Seamless Image Database (MrSID)

A proprietary compression technique especially for maintaining the quality of large images. Allows for a high compression ratio and fast access to large amounts of data at any scale. The MrSID Encoder is developed and supported by LizardTech, Inc. Supports generations 2, 3, and 4.

sSingle file—extension *.sid World file—extension *.sdw

Read-only

8-, and 16-bit unsigned integer

Yes Generation 2 and generation 3—limited to 1 or 3 bands Generation 4—unlimited

Wavelet (lossy)

No

anything special? are you adding them to an empty map?

I was able to my SID file into a Pro map. No extension needed.

When I upgraded from 2.4 to 2.6, ArcGIS Pro stopped reading my MrSID files. I removed and then re-added them after seeing your comment. Now they draw. Thanks.

Confirming that ArcPro 3.1 reads a .sid file directly.

That's just what I needed! the Data Interoperability extension! Thank you all!
