BUG
When an NITF image is added to a map document, it automatically displays its background color. However, when the map document is saved and published as a map service, the background color is not transmitted through the map service.
This is an issue in the NITF for ArcGIS 10.0 extension.
When an NITF image is added to ArcMap, the background color is displayed, but it does not persist in the current data frame.
