Starting with 10.2.1 (and now continuing with 10.2.2) I am given the option of building pyramids for any raster I add to ArcMap. I've tried all of the obvious things:
- When prompted, select "Use my choice and do not show this dialog in the future" and click "No"
- Customize --> ArcMap Options --> Raster Dataset--> "Never build pyramids and don't prompt in the future"
- Geoprocessing-->Environments-->Raster Storage-->uncheck "Build Pyramids"
