Hi Jorge Select open table from the File menu. Select raster image from the "Files of type" drop down menu. locate your file and select open.
if it is the first time you have opened the image mapinfo will ask you if you want to display or register the image. Select "Register" and enter the control points, i.e at least 3 points on the map that you know the coordinates of. and that should be that. to get the coordinates for the mouse position when of the image choose "Map" "Options" and choose "Cursor Location" and the coordinates will be displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. If you just displayed the image then you can do the following select "Table","Raster","Modify Image Registration" put in your control points. also you can select the projection for the image aswell, if i remember correctly the default is Lat/Long Hope it helps Mapinfo should create a .TAB file for the image.
