Insert pictures to the attribute table in ArcGIS

Store information within a Geodatabase, is a very good idea, but inserting images within the attribute table is a good addition to data management.

It requires a geodatabase, then create a new (if not count) Feature Class.

Crear Feature Class en ArcGIS

Since the ArcCatalog application enter the Geodatabase, open the properties of Feature Class, in the Fields tab add a new Field type Raster.

Nuevo campo tipo Raster

From ArcMap, add the Feature Class, then start editing, open the attribute table, go to the field raster type, and load the image, select a compression type and accept.

Stop editing and since now you can display images in the attribute table (this example is ideal for managing database of flora).

  3. Hi Franz,

    I have only recently seen you blog. I love your posts. They are very helpful. I am an urban planner and work extensively with ArcGIS. In one of my projects, that looks at documenting flora of a part of my city – Delhi – I have used a geo-database for photos of trees. The only addition that I have made to your method is to reduce the photo size a bit using picassa.

    I would be more than willing to go through your posts and have a look at your English.

    Best,

    Shubham

  4. What can I do if the “Right Click” function does not work when going to load the Raster image?

    The “Load, Clear, Save As, Properties” window disappears as soon as I release the Mouse Button preventing me from selecting load.
    In addition, I can not keep the mouse button pressed and scroll to “Load” because it will not register as having made a selection.

    Please help, Thanks
