Just make sure they both say the same thing and you won't have a problem. | |

| Jun 19, 2017 at 22:36 | comment | added | Kelsey | @MichaelMiles-Stimson Do you have an example of a .prj file you have used for a raster that ArcGIS read? I made a shp file which generated a .prj file and I copy and pasted that information into my raster .prj file and still ArcGIS won't read it. | |

| Jun 19, 2017 at 22:15 | comment | added | Michael Stimson | I can say a qualified 'yes', ArcGIS does read PRJ files for the formats that I have used. If you use define projection an AUX file will be generated not a PRJ but if one exists, in my experience, it will be read if ArcGIS can read and interpret the information. Define projection does not take long to run but project raster creates a new raster and will take a long time... if you're going to generate and copy files it would be better if you copied (with appropriate name) the JPG.AUX file assuming all rasters have the same number of bands and data type. | |
