Ece, I have had similar problems with this also. The problem is that MapInfo does not seem to handle the composite data too well (e.g. red,green, and blue bands). The colors bands associated in an IKONOS imagery are compound and therefore when MapInfo attempts to open the image, it gets confused with the multispectral data.
The solution: Open the IKONOS imagery (assuming that its a *.tif) in any image editor (I used Irfanview, available as a free tool). Once it is opened in the image editor, save it with another name. The editor will strip out the multispectral data inherit in IKONOS images and for all purposes "flattens" the image. Once this is done, don't forget to copy and rename the world file (*.tfw, *.tga, *iga) to match the renamed file. This should fix the issue. Open the new file and reassign its projection. -Vitad > Try Mapimagery for Mapinfo - Free download at http://www.gid.com/. > > Allows you the choice of stretched or unstretched data on import.
