Adding images

You can add TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and GIF image types to ArcExplorer.

Each image must have a corresponding world file-a file that contains the real-world transformation information used by an image.

It's easy to identify the world file that should accompany an image file: world files use the same name as the image, with a "w" appended. For example, the world file for the image file mytown.tiff would be called mytown.tiffw.

If a folder contains more than one image, the top entry in the Catalog will be *ImageDirectory. By clicking this choice, you can add all the images in a folder.

How to add a single image:

1. Click the Add Layers button to open the Catalog.

2. Click the File Type dropdown and choose Image Files.

3. Navigate to the folder that contains an image.

4. Click an image to add.

5. Click the Add Layers button.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add more images.

7. Click the Close button to close the Catalog.
