The following table lists the available Reclass tools and provides a brief description of each.

Tool

Description

Lookup

Creates a new raster by looking up values found in another field in the table of the input raster.

Reclass by ASCII File

Reclassifies (or changes) the values of the input cells of a raster using an ASCII remap file.
