Can I execute the "Export Raster" tool programmatically so I can get a correctly colored output?

Question

I can drag a JPG image onto a map in ArcGIS Pro, and then right-click on it in the Contents pane, and chose Data > Export Raster. This brings up a tool that allows me to export the raster with coloration by selecting the "Use Renderer" and "Force RGB" options.

This works fine, but I would like to be able to access this functionality programmatically from C# or Python. Is there a way to do this? The "Export Raster" tool does not seem to be in the Geoprocessing toolbox.

Thanks.

same here... definitely need Use Renderer for export rasters via arcpy...

I found a way to do this through the SDK, although it's a bit of a cludge... You need to zoom to the raster layer you want to export, turn off all other layers and then call MapView.Active.Export() with an ExportFormat object as the input argument. For example a TIFFFormat object.

try *.tif as outputs... it is esri's preferred raster format for most geoprocessing operations.

And I do remember something fuzzy about histograms and statistics, defining nodata value explicitly in environments and not using stretch for symbology if you want to retain color... but that was earlier today

So try another raster format with your environment parameters set to what you want
