Opening an IFTDSS GeoTIFF file in ArcGIS Pro

Downloaded Geo Tiff files from IFTDSS will be .zip files. To begin, move the file to the desired folder on your local computer, and extract the contents.

Next, you may add the Geo Tiff bands to ArcGIS Pro. The below steps outline the process in ArcGIS Pro version 3.1, your version may vary slightly.

To add the Geo Tiff to ArcGIS Pro:

  1. From the Map tab, click the Add Data button, and select Data: 

    Add landscape from Map, Add Data, and Data.

  2. Navigate to your extracted GeoTIFF file.

  3. Double click the raster to reveal individual bands. Each of these bands corresponds to a landscape feature or model output (such as canopy cover, flame length, etc.).

    double click the tif file to see all the bands

  4. Select all the individual bands and click OK to open.

    select all bands

  5. The individual bands will now be visible in ArcGIS Pro.

    individual bands will now be visible in arcmap
