I'm trying to read a TIFF off the pasteboard, but it doesn't seem to work for 
me. What I'm doing is going into Finder, finding a TIFF file and Command-C it.

Among other types I then find on the pasteboard are:
NeXT TIFF v4.0 pasteboard type
and
public.tiff

If I take either of those from the pasteboard and write the NSData object to a 
file:

[content writeToFile:@"/tmp/foo.tiff"atomically:YES];

or else if I make an NSImage from the data:
[[NSImagealloc] initWithData:content]

and display it in an NSImageView then I always see the generic TIFF icon, i.e. 
the one with a photo of a child scattered on the table, with a loupe on top of 
it.

The same thing happens for JPEGs, GIFS and PNGs, but not for com.apple.icns. If 
I take the com.apple.icns, it displays correctly.

What am I doing wrong?
