Raster selection options

The selection environment allows you to perform queries based on data within the raster catalog or mosaic dataset and its relationship to feature layers. For example, using Select By Location or Select By Attribute from the Selection menu, you could select the following:

You can use a Select Features tool Select Features to interactively make the selection. You can open the attribute table to make your selection. You can even make a selection using the Identify tool Identify.

Selecting raster datasets within a raster catalog geodatabase can only be performed on catalogs created since ArcGIS 9.0.
