extract by mask in model builder - output "Damaged, Corrupted, or is too large"

[jamiefinney]

Strange one i have a model which should;

- Take an input tif image

- Clip it using a shp file as a new tif

- Uses an iterator to batch a folder of tif images

The input files open fine in other programs (ie. windows picture viewer / paint)

however the output files come up with the error shown in "Tif_Error" attachment if opened using windows picture viewer

The images open fine if opened with ArcMap or Global Mapper

Looking at the image properties for input / output the only real differences are;

Input                             Output

Pixel Depth: 8 Bit          Pixel Depth: 16 Bit

No Data Value: 256      No Data Value: 65535  

I've attached an image of the model also

ArcView 10 (SP5) + Spatial Analysis

maybe the too large error or it can't be read by the windows previewer.  If it works fine in ArcMap then that may be the problem

The output clipped images are only 8.5mb (the input files are 1.5mb) so i

can't imagine size is an issue.

if opened with;

Windows picture viewer - ...Damaged, corrupted or too large error

Picasa Picture Viewer - Invalid Image

GIMP - Comes up with an error saying it can only handle an 8 bit image.

so this seems to be the problem.

how can i make the model export an 8 bit image? (the same as the input)

Hi Jamie,

Try the following steps:

In Model Builder > Model > Model Properties > Environments

Change the NoData Value as Maximum. Is it helping?

Thanks for the suggestion i think this might be in a newer version of arcmap than i'm using i can only see the following options. (ArcView v10 SP5)

I also tried adding an additional tool on the end of my model (Copy Raster) with it set to 8 bit unsigned but these files just exported as tiny corrupt files.

Could the setting for TIFF tiling be the issue?

Good suggestion Curtis unfortunately it didn't work. The files still didn't open in picture viewer and the image was left mostly blank.
