hard to tell with just that, but it appears as if you have the symbology set to display zero's as black.
are you NoData values set to 0?
Does any of this post here help?

Thank you for your suggestions. Out of all the symbology options Custom is the only one that changes the .tif. thank you again for your help.
That is weird. Have you opened the tif in a photo viewer to ensure it is valid?
Also, if you use the explore tool and click around the image (or the Image Information tool), is it reporting pixel values, or are they all the same?
