Need help downloading online imagery within a buffer zone

I'm trying to download imagery for a buffer zone around a pipeline, and I'm having trouble limiting the bounds of that imagery to just the buffer zone. I'm using a buffer zone shapefile I've created from Arc, and just want imagery inside that shape.

On the "Select Online Data Source to Download" window, there is the "Select Area to Download" option. None of those options ("Current Screen Bounds", "Within....", "Specify Lat/Long", "Entire Data Source Bounds") seem to be what I need...

I know it can be done, but I just can't seem to find how...


Thanks in advance for any help

    You can't crop to an area during online source download, but you can download the bounding area that you need, then export that to a new local file and crop to the selected area during the export, then load that cropped file back in.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,
