Watching the tutorial on georeferencing with GM got me thinking about using it. I can train someone quickly how to zoom to an area in ArcMAP and obtain the coordinates of angles in the lines for control points.

My point being that to georeference an image, it would seem ideal to have ArcMAP on one screen and Global Mapper on a laptop or second machine adjacent to it.

What about cropping the collars, blending the match lines and mosaicing? Are those tools fairly easy to use for a novice?
