  • TIF image files may be problematic in some image viewing programs; most notably Windows Picture Viewer and Quicktime. It is recommended to use Photoshop, GIMP, or IrfanView. If this is not possible, it is recommended to use the PNG image file instead as both the TIF and PNG are lossless images of the same quality.
