I have a script that iterates through a folder of jpgs, clips them to a grid, inserts them to an mxd, and exports them. My original problem was when I added the clipped raster from a standalone script to my mxd, it would automatically render it as a 1 band stretched image when a 3 band RGB is desired. In the python window I was able to use copy raster (management) with the "ColormapToRGB" parameter to create a layer that was displayed correctly. The problem now is when I run it from a standalone it doesn't automatically add the RGB to my TOC like it did from the python window. I instead have to add the RGB with another line like I did with my original clipped raster and I run into the same 1 band rendering issue. Anyone one know how I can get the RGB image to appear in my TOC with the correct display?
