This may be a stupid question but, sometimes I have to deal with stupid
people.  Please read on.  
I have terrain raster images that are projected in NAD83.  The rest of
our vector data is projected in (grid) lat/long, lat/long.  I was
wondering, can I change the projection & datum to lat/long, lat/long for
the rasters.  I know lat/long, lat/long is a non earth flat projection.
If and will changing the rasters to lat/long, lat/long, make the problem
(read below) go away?
 
The issue is, when I create a radius ring, because of the raster images,
the radius ring looks oval shaped instead of a circle.  For 99% of my
job, it is not necessary to see real earth projections but, we want to
show terrain.  If a leasing person sees a oval radius ring instead of a
circle on a map, they won't understand that the reason is because the
earth is round, not flat.  Does anybody have any advice to what we can
do?
thanks
