[UW-GIS-L] Projecting raster

[Michael August]

I've had some strange results in the past with ArcMap trying to project
things on the fly when adding datasets with different projections into
the same .mxd.  I would start fresh with two datasets that you know are
in the same projection and add them to a new .mxd file, if you haven't
tried that already.

Harvey,
Thanks, I found the tool using the search window. 

I projected the netCDF raster file to State Plane and a ERDAS Imagine
copy to NAD83 Harn and neither worked. If I cannot get it just
georeference it. Not as clean or technically correct, though.

I never had much luck browsing the toolboxes.  I used to use the index,
but that has been replaced in version 10 with the search window.  You
may find that window docked to the right of arcmap, or you can find the
icon in the toolbars in under the "Windows" pulldown.  In the search
window, type project raster, and it will search for possible tools, with
links provided.

align on my map with State Plane features, but it is slightly off. I
have tried all kinds of things, but none have worked. I am using ArcGIS
10 for the first time, I have never used this type of dataset before,
and have not done GIS for months, which may explain my problems. When I
to go the help menu, it says to use the "Project Raster" tool under
"Data Management Tools," but that tool is not there.

to be some pretty basic assistance.
