Thanks this was so helpful! I was trying to run this tool but had already done a few other things as well to troubleshoot, so opening a new map and following your instructions fixed it! Thanks again
Thanks for this video. However, the issue I have is that I have no clue what the coordinate system of the raster image I have currently is - some kind of conic projection over portions of the Northern Hemisphere. And I want to change it to a cylindrical projection to be able to fit over another image that is in the cylindrical projection.
Save a copy, and start guessing! But key to remember - until you define the projection correctly, projecting the unknown raster will do you absolutely no good. You can't take unknown and turn it into known without... knowing first. It's a riddle, but with pixels. Conic helps: here's a list to start map-projections.net/projections-list.php. Happy hunting.
@@FreelanceGeographer I know that it is a Lambert Conformal Conic projection with 2 standard latitudes of 5N and 60N. Its a map that encompasses Europe, Asia and North Africa. However none of the arctoolbox options fit those standard parallels, so not sure where to go from there. Thanks again for the reply!
@@shocky2787 Fortunately, you can define your own projection: pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/properties/define-a-new-coordinate-system.htm Unfortunately that's a lot harder!
Great question. That likely means you don't have a shapefile, rather a streaming layer or layer from an online source. (There could be other options as well). These layers behave differently because the file isn't downloaded locally on your computer - it's being hosted someplace. So you have different/fewer options than with a local file you have full access to work with.

@@FreelanceGeographer yes, but this is what I will need to do! Thank you so much!
What if the only tabs in the layer properties tab are "general" and "metadata"?
