ORIGINAL QUESTION BELOW

Thanks to everyone who helped (Suzann Shull, Sammie Lammie, Mike Schaefer,
David Jaunay, James Wilson, Kathy Hannaford, Christer Andersson, Cliff
Todd). A number of people suggested the Image Analysis extension.
Unfortunately I can not justify the price of this as a number of colleagues
use ERDAS Imagine.  It would appear that this will work just as well for my
purposes.  Although I have not yet received the software it would appear to
be exactly what is required for the work I am doing.

Thanks again for everyone who helped.

ORIGINAL QUESTION:

I am working on a project where I am mapping habitats on the shore of the
Isle of Man and putting them into GIS. I have aerial photographs to help me
and would like to be able to put them as a theme/ graphic under the outline
map of the island that I am mapping onto. An additional problem is that the
photographs are not orthorectified and I would therefore need to be able to
move the graphic and manipulate it to fit each part of the shore (rather
than assigning them geographical locations). I have a lot of overlap on the
photos so it may be that the middle setions are accurate enough to work from
despite not being rectified.

If anyone has any ideas could you please let me know.

Will sum

Thanks in advance,
