I am having a problem georeferencing. I have a photograph (.tif) that will not save georeferencing. When the .tif raster appears on the table of contents, there is a ":0" added to the end of the naming convention. I then fit to display and start adding control points. I can create a text from link table, and rectify file no problem. The problem arises when I go to update georeferencing. The image will disappear along with the control points. When I search for the raster, I find it @ 0,0. Any ideas?
I found a similar post from a few years back. Same problem but his solution didn't help my issue…

Here is a work around that I figured out. For some reason it seems like arc does not like to save the control points or build pyramids for raster over 100MB. The image I was trying to georef were 103MB .tif files. The solution, I cropped it down in Ps and it would georef just fine. Definitely a software issue.
