    This document describes how to use image analysis functions in ArcGIS to overlay a colored hypsometric tint layer onto a hillshade without the tint becoming washed out. It involves converting the tint layer to an RGB raster, then using pan sharpening, contrast stretching, and gamma stretching functions on the raster and hillshade to fuse them. This preserves the original color and hillshade detail better than conventional transparency overlay. The result can be exported as a new raster dataset.
