Raster images can also be layers in MapInfo Pro. They appear in the Layers window just like any other layer. You can change the display style of a raster layer within the Layers window.

To change the display of a raster layer:

  1. On the Layers window, double-click the raster layer name. The Layer Properties dialog box displays.
  2. On the Layer Display tab, select the Style Override check box and click a Style button. The Adjust Image Styles dialog box displays, where you can make changes to the transparency, brightness, contrast, and translucency settings.
  3. Click OK to save your changes.

In MapInfo Pro, raster images are used as display layers only. They cannot have any data attached to them like vector map images. Raster images are particularly well-suited for use as a backdrop for vector map layers because they provide a much greater level of detail than vector maps.
