How to Rotate a Raster in ArcGIS Pro?

You can easily rotate a raster in ArcGIS Pro using the Georeferencing tool.

Steps to Rotate a Raster:

1. Open ArcGIS Pro and load your raster dataset.
2. Navigate to the Georeferencing toolbar.
3. Click the "Rotate" button within the toolbar.
4. Select the raster you want to rotate.
5. Specify the rotation angle in degrees. You can choose to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
6. Click "OK" to apply the rotation.

Additional Information:

• Rotation Center: By default, the rotation is centered on the raster's origin. You can change this by specifying a different rotation center within the Georeferencing tool.
• Georeferencing: Rotating a raster using Georeferencing will also update the raster's spatial reference information. This is important for ensuring the raster aligns correctly with other datasets.
• Other Methods: You can also use the Raster Functions in ArcGIS Pro to rotate a raster. This method allows for more advanced transformations, such as rotating a raster based on a specific point or line.

Example:

Imagine you have a satellite image that needs to be rotated 45 degrees counterclockwise. Using the Georeferencing tool, you would select the image, enter "45" in the rotation angle field, and select "Counterclockwise." This would rotate the image by 45 degrees, ensuring it aligns with other geographic data.
