Problem<\/strong>: The area you are mapping has some fabulous feature or texture that is visible on the imagery basemap. You want to use it in your map, but you want more control over its appearance. Perhaps you are going for a more artistic effect. But because the imagery basemap is a dynamic and tiled raster layer that’s made up of many different images, it cannot be manipulated directly.<\/p>\n

Solution 1<\/strong>: Instead of using the basemap, you can find other imagery of the same place and edit its appearance in a photo editing program before adding it to your map. This lesson<\/a> will teach you how to find and download Imagery from the Landsat satellites.<\/p>\n

Solution 2<\/strong>: Or, you can read this article to find out how to extract static images from the basemap itself, then manipulate their appearance however you like, and slap them back into your map for a sweet custom-cartography look.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: If the basemap you want to customize is vector, this is even easier. The answer to your problem is the ArcGIS Vector Tile Style Editor<\/a>. There you can customize vector basemaps to your heart’s content. This blog is instead about raster<\/a> basemaps like Imagery or Terrain.<\/em><\/p>\n

I recently made a black and white map with a lot of texture.

I wasn’t satisfied with the vegetation data I was able to find for download, so I was tempted to just digitize (trace) the green bits on my basemap.
