Not quite.  TIFF is a tagged image file format, it can wrap several kinds
of images.  To make sure its got all the features you need to make sure
it has LZW and JPEG support in there (libtiff).  Note there are other
extensions from Adobe which are not necessarily supported by libtiff.

However, this is not your problem in this case :-)  I have noticed during
my own recent foray into 64-bit support that libtiff is not 64-bit safe.
