Hi Everyone,
I've learned that at least one way of removing the grainy appearance at full extent is when adding rasters to the mosaic dataset, under 'Raster Pyramid Options', the smaller the value for 'Minimum Rows or Columns' the smoother the full extent appearance.
The default is 1500, but only when I set it to 100 does the appearance look the same as a true mosaicked image (all tiles mosaicked into one new raster). However, this seems to make the performance much slower.
Mosaic datasets seem to be the way raster storage is headed for now with ESRI and from my reading of the different raster types it does seem to be correct. But if I can't make our rasters look good...at all extents...and have good performance, I'm being told we won't go that direction. I want to believe that I just don't fully understand how to accomplish building a mosaic dataset that looks decent at full extent. This seems to basic...what am I missing?
Thanks,
Wes
