Turn off automatic stretch when opening raster?

[GeospatialTechnology]

Hello,

Whenever I open an aerial image in arcgis a stretch is automatically applied in the raster symbology.

How do I stop this from happening?

In the raster layer properties symbology tab I want the stretch type to always display as 'None' and for no 'Gamma Statistics to be applied'

Hi Mark,

Go to Customize > ArcMap Options > Raster tab > Raster Layer sub tab and set the default to None.  Also see this two part blog on this exact topic.

You can also check out the help topic, "Setting default raster display options" which documents this as well.

Best,

Hi Eric

Is there any way to controlling it by setting a Mosaic Dataset properties?
If the manager thinks that the default stretch is not so good s/he cannot go into each user machine and change it.
More than that �?? some other rasters might be better with the default stretch but not all of them.

Thanks
