Image Manipulation Overview

All manipulation operations are for raster images only with the exception of editing metadata. Use the toolbar to perform image manipulation operations. You can perform the following image manipulation operations:

• Edit metadata for an image. Edit the metadata of a raster image to include custom information in the image. Edit the metadata of a LiDAR point cloud to edit the coordinate reference system information. You can edit the metadata of MrSID and JPEG 2000 files.
• Despeckle an image. Remove speckling from MrSID and JPEG 2000 images.
• Crop an image. Select the area of an image that you want to keep and discard the other areas.
• Select an area of interest for an image. Specify part of an image as an area of interest. You can change the compression ratio of the area of interest to preserve more image detail in that part of the image or to blur that part of the image.
• Adjust the color balance for an image. Edit the brightness, contrast, and gamma values for an image. You can also change the values for each band in an image.
• Reproject an image. Change the projection used by the image. You can specify a custom well known text (WKT) string or select a standard coordinate reference system.

Image manipulation operations only take effect after you run the job for the image.
