Create and apply a raster function template to an image service

Summary

The raster functions allow users to define processing operations that can be applied to one or more rasters. A function template (.rft.xml) is a saved raster function chain that can be created from the mosaic dataset Layer Properties window and implemented in the image service during publishing.

The instructions provided describe how to create and apply a raster function template to an image service.
