Unless the image has georeferencing information (e.g. a .tfw file),
it will be imported at the origin of the location's coordinate system,
with a resolution of 1 "unit" (metre, foot, degree) per pixel.

This usually results in the image lying far outside of the current
region.

After importing, you need to set the image's boundaries with r.support
(or, with the latest CVS versions, r.region).

Also, end-user questions should be directed to GRASSLIST at baylor.edu;
this list is intended for development discussions.
