    If you use the New Image Service Wizard, uncheck the Generate overviews and Compile the service for publishing options.

  2. Define the NoData value. This is the value you want to define as transparent. You can edit each of the raster properties by using the toolbar, using the Edit Raster Properties Wizard, or editing the .RPDef files.

    1. Select a footprint.
    2. Click the Raster Properties button Raster-Eigenschaften on the Image Service Definition Editor toolbar.
