Hi Rafael,

That is because there are different kinds of Geotiff files. The Geotiff format 
is quite versatile and can contain anything from 1-bit integers to 32-bit float 
numbers. It can also handle single-band grids (a DTM for example) or multi-band 
rasters (an RGB image for example). 
Unfortunately, Oasis Montaj can only import the latter kind (the pictures).
If you have not got ArcGIS or QGIS for converting between formats, my 
suggestion is to use the GDAL utilities (http://www.gdal.org/). You can convert 
the Geotiff DTM to an ASCII grid with this command:
gdal_translate -of AAIGrid DTM.tif DTM.asc

Then import the DTM.asc file in Oasis with Grid and Image > Utilities > Import 
ASCII grid. A word of caution here: GDAL would provide the coordinates of the 
corner of the bottom-left pixel. In Oasis, you need to enter the coordinates of 
the centre of the pixel, i.e. add half a cell size to the numbers.
