Input
- Batch Mode - Select the check-box to process multiple inputs with the same set of input parameters in a single go. Batch mode also supports single field single band conversion for supported files.
- Input File - Select an input raster from the drop-down list or browse to a file location.
- Select Fields, Bands - If the selected input raster has
multiple fields and bands, the Select Fields, Bands option allows you to
choose either All Fields All Bands or a particular field for the
processing.
Select a specific field from the drop-down list, you can then choose the desired bands from that field. You can not select bands from different fields, because only one field can be selected at a time. Click the radio button against the field or check-box against the band that you want to select. By default All Fields All Bands option is selected for you.

Convert Options
The Convert Options section consists of the following:
- Convert To - This drop-down list contains the file formats which you will convert your input raster to. For a list of all convert options for each raster format, refer to Raster Convert Options for more details.
- Output Field Type - If the selected input raster is Classified or Image Palette, you can specify the output field type. Select the required field type for your output raster from the drop-down list.
When converting your raster dataset, you can set some advanced properties for the output
raster. Click 
to select the required options. You can edit properties
for your output file such as Raster Name, Field Name, Band Name, Band Data Units and
Band Data Type. For more information see, Convert
Metadata.
Output File
In the Output File box enter the name you want to specify for your output file. Click 
to browse to the location in your computer to save the output file. You can also select the required output file format.
Click Output Settings to specify the following. The values in Output Settings are controlled by the Raster Preferences dialog; however, you can override those settings here.
- Display Output File - Select the check-box, if you want to open the output file in the Map window on completion of the operation. You can configure to make this the default behavior from the Raster Preferences dialog.
- Compression Settings - If the output file format is MRR or TIFF, the Compression Settings drop-down list appears. The available options are listed below.
- Data Balanced
- Data Speed
- Data Space
- Advanced
The Data Balanced option allows you to achieve a balance between speed of operation and file size. The system selects the best combination of speed and space for you. With the other two options Data Speed and Data Space, you can choose between speed of operation and storage space. Choose Advanced option to set the advanced compression settings such as compression method, level, and encoding type. For details, on Advanced option, see Compression Settings.
- Compression- Select a suitable compression method and level for the data. For more information on compression, see Compression methods.
- Encoding Type - Select a suitable Encoding Type for the data from the list. It enables you to compress the data when saving a raster to MRR format. Encoding Type is enabled only when the raster field type is Continuous and the compression method is lossless such as ZIP, LZMA or LZ4. The drop-down list contains the following:
- None - No encoding.
- Previous Column Linear - Performs linear estimation of the value from previous two columns.
- Previous Column Value - Predicts the value from previous column.
