Thanks to Bill Huber, Gunther Grill, and Robert van Waasbergen
for responding.

My original message is below,
"I am creating a shaded relief for an ArcIMS application.  I used
an extension called ShadeMax Color System to create the
shaded relief from an elevation grid.
Now I want to save that shaded relief grid as it appears in the View
as an image that can be used in ArcIMS.  There does not seem
to be any option to output as a TIFF; other options available
just export to some format for a graphic with dots per inch--I
need a real image with a world file.  I also exported the image
as another grid but there is no color file with it.
How do I save the shaded relief as it appears in the View to an
image with a world file?"

Bill Huber explained a procedure on how to accomplish this with some
Avenue programming and also suggested using using Ken McVay's
grid2img script:
(http://gis.esri.com/arcscripts/details.cfm?CFGRIDKEY=1296208606)
to output the TIFF image.

I implemented the procedure described by Bill with an AML that
used some Grid commands and it worked to output the TIFF exactly
as it appeared in the View.

Then Gunther Grill pointed me to a script written by Jean
Bissonnette called ShadeImage.ave that did most of what was
needed except to allow brightening of the image as allowed in
the legend editor.  I had used 50 and 100 in the legend editor so I
simply multipled by .5 and added .5 to one grid in the script.
This worked.  This script used McVay's script to write the output
image.

The problem I noticed is a 1/2 pixel shift in both the x and y
between the input grid and the output TIFF image when displayed
in ArcView.  I have seen this type of error before and it has
been caused by differences in the reference point chosen within
the reference pixel.  Sometimes the UL corner of a pixel is used
and sometimes the center of a pixel is used.

Robert van Waasbergen pointed me to a script called grid2image
at the following: http://www.aeds.com/free_stuff.html
I did not get a chance to try this yet.
