Supported Raster File Formats
These are the supported file formats for Raster File Conversions. After data has been imported, the Output File Extension drop-down list will be automatically limited to file types that are compatible with the loaded data type.
Note: If a file type includes supporting files, all associated files must be loaded. See the list of supported reference files below.

| USGS ASCII DEM | • | • | *.dem |

Supporting Reference Files
Some raster file types require other reference files to be loaded concurrently. These additional reference files can include (but are not limited to) the following:
- .rsf (from Geographic Calculator Desktop),
- .prj
- world files (first and last letter of format name, with “w” added to the end. E.g. JPG = “jgw”)
- .tab (for some formats only)
