For which purpose is the Transform tool used in ArcGIS?

The Transform tool in ArcGIS is specifically used for georeferencing images. This process involves aligning an image with spatial reference coordinates so that it accurately represents its location on the earth's surface. When working with scanned maps or satellite images that lack geographic information, the Transform tool allows users to adjust the position, scale, and orientation of these images to ensure they fit properly within existing spatial data layers. This capability is essential in cartography and GIS applications, as it enhances the accuracy and usability of the visualized information.

While other functions in ArcGIS serve different purposes, they do not specifically relate to the transformation or adjustment of image data for geographic alignment. For example, map document organization involves arranging map elements and layers within a document rather than adjusting spatial data. Editing features focuses on modifying spatial or attribute data of existing features, and data analysis pertains to the evaluation and interpretation of spatial information, neither of which directly applies to the primary function of the Transform tool.
