You can export a raster dataset in ArcGIS Pro using the Export Raster pane, accessed directly from the Contents pane.
Exporting a raster allows you to convert its format, change its spatial reference, clip its extent, or modify other properties before saving it as a new file.
Here are the key steps based on the provided reference and common practice in ArcGIS Pro:
Steps to Export a Raster Dataset
The process involves opening the raster, accessing the export function, and configuring the output parameters.
-
Open ArcGIS Pro and add the raster dataset.
- Start ArcGIS Pro and open a project.
- Add the raster dataset you wish to export to a map or a standalone mosaic dataset. The dataset will appear in the Contents pane.
-
Right-click the raster dataset in Contents, and select Data > Export Raster.
- In the Contents pane, locate the raster layer you want to export.
- Right-click on the layer name.
- From the context menu, navigate to Data and select Export Raster. This action opens the Export Raster pane.
-
Follow the steps in ArcGIS Pro: Export or convert raster datasets to export the TIFF raster dataset as a CRF raster dataset. Specify the Output Format as CRF.
- In the Export Raster pane, you will configure the export settings.
- Output Location: Choose where the new raster file will be saved.
- Output Name: Provide a name for the new raster file.
- Output Format: This is a crucial step. The reference specifically mentions exporting a TIFF as a CRF. To do this, select
CRF(Cloud Raster Format) from the Output Format dropdown list. - Coordinate System: You can define the spatial reference for the output raster. By default, it often uses the input raster's coordinate system or the map's coordinate system.
- Extent: You can clip the output raster to a specific extent (e.g., the current display extent, another layer's extent, or manually defined coordinates).
- Cell Size: Optionally, define a new cell size for the output raster.
- Resampling Method: Choose how the pixel values will be calculated if the cell size or spatial reference changes.
- Review other settings like band order, pixel depth, and compression if needed.
- Click Export (or Run) at the bottom of the pane to start the export process.
The export tool offers flexibility to save your raster data in various formats suitable for different applications and storage needs. The CRF format, as highlighted in the reference, is optimized for cloud and distributed environments.
