I have 33 DEM tiles that I am trying to mosaic together using this tool in ArcGIS Desktop,
but I keep getting strange results.
All of the DEM pixel depths/sizes are 32 bit float, 1 band and are in NAD83, which I have been specifying in the tool. I'm saving it to a gdb and not specifying a cellsize. I am also leaving the mosaic operator and colormap modes as the defaults. This is the result I am getting:
Wondering if anyone knows why this is happening.
I tried using a mosaic dataset, but I am having issues with performing additional manipulation of it after I added all of the tiles. I would prefer to use the mosaic to new raster as I know the additional analysis and manipulation I need to perform has worked in the past.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Someone else recently had this issue and it was solved by creating the new mosaic in a regular folder then moving the resultant raster back to the gdb.
Could you change mosaic operator to Mean and retry?
Thanks for the reply Abdullah!! I tried your suggestion, but now I got this as the result:
I'm going to try the other suggestions now. Hopefully one of these works!!
If you are able create a Mosaic Dataset > Load the Rasters to it, then you could use Copy Raster to convert the Mosaic Dataset to a Raster Dataset.
I didn't get to try this suggestion. It may work, but I didn't have the rasters in a gdb, only a regular folder and it would take time to import them and then try this.

This solution worked. Thank you very much. Strange that you have to do it this way though.
Could you check by create this mosaic with mosaic dataset instead of mosaic to new raster.
and please snapshot of footprint of raster.
