Hello,

I am using ArcGIS 9.3 and I am having a problem with the georeferencing toolbar.  What I am doing is adding a jpg image to my map that already has a jpg image in it.  The initial jpg is georeferenced to my liking and what I am trying to do is georeference the new image based on like points with the old image.

After I add a few control points I click the update georeferencing button and then I will start to zoom in and out to see how the image looks.  The problem is when I zoom in the new image overlaps the old image perfectly, but when I zoom out I noticed that in fact the new image is not close to matching the old image.

So I tried rectifying the image to create a new file and the same thing happens.  Even tried doing this a second time with new control points and same thing.  Also I tried adding control points when zoomed out, and when I zoom in the image is completely off, all the while the the image is still off when zoomed out.  I tried all the transformations and none of them fix this.

I was wondering why this is happening and if anyone else is having this problem.
