Hello,
I welcome your help.
(I've searched for a forum discussion on what I'm seeing but I found none, so far. Please share if you know of one.)
Background:
I have a mxd (53x36) that contains vector layers (roads, rivers, lakes, counties) and a hillshade that underlies.
I am using Data Frame clipping with exclusion of the clip feature.
Most items have some % of transparency.
I am using 10.1.
Most layers are layer files hitting services published through work.
Problem:
When I export my map to eps/pdf/tif I have a band that appears in the hillshade. It does not occur in the vector layers.
What I've tried:
Exporting at different dpi
Exporting to different file types
Exporting just the hillshade, exporting vector layers without the hillshade
Export with data frame clipping, export without data frame clipping
What I've discovered:
While using clipping...the band is absent at 350 dpi (regardless of file type) and lower but is present at 375 dpi and above.
Without clipping...the hillshade does not export (ie I think the band covers the entire data frame) at 400 dpi but the hillshade does export at 150 dpi.
The band appears to widen as the dpi goes up.
Please see the attached images. They show what happens. (only 5 images attached to this post. I'll post more in a second post)
1. shows the map at 350 dpi, no banding
2. map at 375 dpi, banding starts
3. 400 dpi banding expands
4. 600 dpi banding expands
5. 400 dpi tif test, banding still there
