Re : RE: Thank you, but a bit more help will do



Dear Awula,

I think the easiest way to display your tiff images w1ith a a nice  within ArcGIS is:
1. enhance  all the bands you need to view in ArcMap 
2. after enhancement to must apply and save your bands to a LUT(Look up Table)
When open your  tiff in ArcMap it should have the same look as in Focus.

Hope this will help

Cheers
