Hello everybody,

I'm not an expert in ArcGis and I have a problem, that I don't know exactly how to solve it.
I had to extract a subset of forests patches from a bigger forest raster. The problem is that I will like also to remove the ones that are on the boundary (the delimitation of the smaller extent), because now of course on the tile-edge the forest patches are only partially removed, and often the parts that remain are fragmented up into several patches. Is it possible to remove patches completely if they touch the boundary, so I can have a subset with only the forest patches that  are completely within the new extent?

Thanks.

Maria
