[UW-GIS-L] lidar data to hillshade

[Robert A Norheim]

As Chris said, you don't need the lat/long to just generate a hillshade. 
However, if you want the hillshade to be *georeferenced* and able to be 
shown on a map with other geospatial data layers, then  use the 
georeferencing toolbar in ArcMap.
