TIF images not displaying correctly or crashing on opening

Occurrence

I am trying to open a TIF file and it is crashing MapInfo Pro.
Or I have opened TIF images but the colours are not displaying correctly in MapInfo Pro 64bit.

They open fine in MapInfo Pro 32bit and other software i.e. Discover3D.

Solution

MapInfo Raster now handles opening TIF files and has some known defects. To disable the new MapInfo Raster handling do the following:

1. Navigate to PRO>Options. At the bottom of the screen select MapInfo Raster Preferences

2. From the left hand side select Raster Formats

3. In this list untick both the Display and Processing box for TIFF (.tif) images. 

4. Also select the GDAL Formats tab, and untick the GeoTIFF (.tif) Display box it in this list also.

Restart MapInfo and reopen the tab files, they should now open and display correctly.
