Additional Information

We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle. If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support. Note that ArcGIS 10.8.2 is the current release of ArcGIS Desktop and will enter Mature Support in March 2024 (https://support.esri.com/en-us/products/arcmap/life-cycle). There are no plans to release an ArcGIS Desktop 10.9, and we recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro (https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro/resources/migrate) for more information.

Workaround

  • Open the layer properties of the .tif file after adding to Table Of Contents (Right click > Properties).
  • In the Symbology tab, select Classified (Stretched is set by default).
  • Click OK on the message "Unique histogram is not available. You can import class breaks from another layer."
  • Two symbols appear showing Range Symbol Black for Range 0 and White for 0-1.
  • Click Apply.
  • Continue with the Georeferencing and then the Update Georeferencing. The black screen issue is no longer seen.
  • Alternative workaround is to export the .tif image to a .jpg file.
