We began to see areas of “no data”. When looking at the image in other software platforms, we do not see the areas of “no data”. All the pixels have a value. We sent an image to Esri technical support and they replied by stating “The tiff has a mask tag that ArcGIS didn’t use in the past. At ArcGIS 10.0 we read and apply this tag. In this case, the tag specifies band 4 to be a nodata mask – any place where band 4 has the value 0 will show as nodata. This is a setting on the tiff file and not in ArcGIS. ArcGIS just started to honor this tag.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone know what tag Esri may be referring to? If I could figure out what the tag is or what exactly it specified, then I could remove the tag or change it.
