Usage Tips
Building raster pyramids provides better performance when displaying raster datasets.
Pyramids will only be built if they do not exist.
Pyramids are not built for raster datasets having less than 1024 pixels in the row or column.
The default resampling method is NEAREST_NEIGHBOR (the value of the closest cell is assigned to the output cell).
The Advanced Options can be used to change the compression method and quality.
See the ArcGIS help topics below for information about resampling methods and compression methods.
With ArcGIS 10.1, rasters in SDE will not have pyramids built beyond the first level. See this Esri GeoNet article for more details: Problem with Pyramids in SDE 10.1
