Copy symbology to multiple rasters?

[JonathanBoright]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to copy a symbology (stretched, or classified) to multiple raster images without manually opening the properties dialog for each raster and importing a saved symbology...

I have hundreds of rasters to visually compare and I'd like to be able to (easily) see them with the same color ramp and breakpoints.

Any suggestions out there?

Thanks in advance.

Jon

I'm not sure if this works with ArcGIS 10 or not, but this script has saved me a lot of headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Hi,

unfortunately the version of "Copy and paste raster symbology" given in http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=13128, only works in 9.x.
I need one for version 10. Anyone who can help?
Thanks in advance.

Best regards
Anne

Save a layer with the default symbolgy to disk.
Use the Python arcpy.mapping tools to edit the Map Document,  load the layer x times and then change the source to each separate grid.

Wow- that seems pretty complicated for such a simple operation!

No easier way to copy raster symbology (like with copy/paste symbology in 9x)?
