The Apple Quicktime plug-in will display TIFF files, but it's no
guarantee that every visitor will have even that (some of us despise
Quicktime and Apple's Jewish-mother nagging about it ;-). GIF, JPEG,
and PNG are your viable choices. If you need a decent image manager and
converter, I might suggest Cerious Software's ThumbsPlus.

there are at this time only 2 (two) browsers that can handle TIFF images:
Internet Exploder 7
internet Exploder 6.1 with a patch and Windows Imaging and Fax Viewer
(office 2003)
the QuickTime plug ins can read TIFF files, but they are slow and
drastically inefficient. there IS however some stuff you can do with
ImageMagik to make them into a readable image in any browser. thats
php though.
