Workaround

When you want to add a Visualization Elevation process to an image service, it is best to add this to the Service level. Open Service Properties and add the VE process to the Service Processes node. This is because this process converts the data from 32 bit to 8 bit. You will have to run Build with “Compute output pixel properties” turned on so the service will be converted from outputting 32-bits to 8-bits.The problem with creating a 32-bit service then adding the VE process at the raster level is the chain requires too many edits. You would then have to also change the Raster properties from 32 to 8-bit. If you open the Raster properties, click General node, you will notice the raster is defined as 32-bit. But by adding the VE process to it, you’ve changed it to 8-bit and there is no automatic ‘build’ to make this conversion.
