TIFF is an acronym for Tag File Format - a format for storing image data.
See http://www.libtiff.org/ for the source code.

See [Image], [Img], [Photo format - HPL (Fitzhugh)], and [QuickTimeTcl] for
some Tk extensions which support TIFF.  See also [tiff package (in pure tcl)], [Xbit] and [tcllib]. 

[ZLM]: this is my summary of what each package provides. Authors, please 
correct me. Who wrote [tiff package (in pure tcl)] anyway?

[tiff package (in pure tcl)] - this allows creating Tk image (type photo) objects 
from TIFF images (compression modes supported: Uncompressed,  CCITT 1D, 
Group 3 Fax, Group 4 Fax, LZW, JPEG or PackBits.) ; saving uncompressed 
RGB TIFF files. 

[img] - extends the existing Tk command image so that it supports TIFF files.
Can write compressed files (compression modes: uncompressed, jpeg, packbits, or deflate).

[Xbit]  also supports multi-image files.

[tcllib] tiff - read and write image metadata such as size and comments, read and write uncompressed images.
