I just used #clip raster by polygon with default Environments settings on a GRID image and the clipped out put was indistinguishable from the original.  In screen shot below, the area inside the yellow polygon is a clip raster output laying on top of the original raster - no visible difference. I'd recommend trying NOT using 0 as a NoData value - that might be why you are getting those "speckles" in the dark water areas.  Those look like they might be valid black 0 values within the image.  Once you've done that, make sure that the #Raster Layer Appearance Stretch Type is set to None. Good luck. ... View more

Andrew, I think I see what you are saying - after you georeference the raster, the "Prepare" tools (which include "Move") are greyed out. I was able to do the following: After the initial georeferencing is complete,SAVE, then CLOSE Georeference tab.  Then go to the Imagery tab, Georeference (for the second time). Now the Prepare tools are available again and you can MOVE the raster to a new location to get your offset. Looks like you have to completely exit the Georeference tab and go back in #before you can do the second modification. #raster‌ ... View more

#template One way to do this is through the use of Templates.   Open Pro and go to Project tab, Options, Units, and set the Location Units for the Project.  Then Share, Save As, Project Template. Any time you want to start a new project, choose to use your "custom" Project Template. ... View more

If your "clipping" is only for visual purposes within the map, and you don't actually need a clipped tiff for some downstream analysis, you can use the following to achieve a sort of "virtual clip": Create a very large polygon that covers the entire area covered by your map and then some.  Edit the polygon to remove the area in which you want to see the TIFF.  Think of this polygon as a "donut", with a hole in the middle.  Once you've got this polygon, you can use the Raster layer, Appearance, Masking tool to block out the areas covered by the polygon.  Select the TIFF in the Contents pane, then the Masking tool, and put a check in the donut polygon layer. You'll now see that the tiff is masked. ... View more

Ah, I assumed you were publishing a map service to your own in-house ArcServer.  If, instead, you are relying on ArcGIS Online (AGOL) for everything, it is actually a lot easier.   First thing, you cannot include basemap layers in a service - essentially they already exist as ESRI-hosted services, so remove the two "World Dark..." layers from your MXD.  Once you've published your custom data as a service in AGOL, it will show up in your Content and you can add it to a Map, then select "World Dark..." as the basemap. So, to publish your data to AGOL, make sure that in ArcMap you are logged in to AGOL (File, Sign-in).  Then, when you go to File, Share-As, Service, Publish Service, select "My Hosted Services" from the "Choose a connection" drop down. That should get you a lot closer to where you want to be.  Be aware that this copies your data to the server and will consume some credits, but honestly data storage is a really low usage thing and hardly uses any credits for small data sets. Good luck. Jay ... View more

Thanks Melita - excellent info.  I realize we are only talking a couple of inches at most, but I feel better at least understanding some of what is "behind the curtain". ... View more
