I am working with image server for the first time and I am wondering if anyone can help shed any light on my situation:
a) I have a DEM in ESRI GRID format, including pyramids - created by a third party in ArcGIS 10.
b) I have ArcGIS Image Server 9.3.1 the standalone image server product.
c) I will be working with the DEM in ArcGIS Desktop only (currently 9.3.1 but possibly also some test copies of ArcGIS10) - the DEM will not be utilized in any web services.
Questions:
1) Do I need to reformat the DEM (or preprocess/prepare the DEM in any way) or can I go straight to the step of creating the image service definition.
2) Given that I am just utilizing the images in ArcGIS Desktop does ArcGIS Server even come in to the equation?
