If I have a workspace that deals with raster images, is there a way - maybe as a User Parameter - to get the person running the workspace to choose which raster image to use as the input for the workspace?

 

For instance, User A might want to run with a .TIF file, and User B might want to process a .JPG

Use GenericReader.

It creates it's own User Parameter of type File/URL named SourceDataset_GENERIC which you can use as user input.
