TIFF can be a container format for images and one of the encoding types of TIFF is JPEG aswel as large 300+ DPI vector images for print etc.

Anyway, Salathe has one solution although i dunno how it would fair if a TIFF was used, as there isn't a TIFF function in PHP's GD API.

You could also use imagemagick, if you have a *nix box with it installed, you can do this:

PHP Code:


			
exec('convert image.tif image.png');

That will convert the image.tif (which is a TIFF) to a png called image.png in the current directory.

You can even do the conversion and resize all in one:

PHP Code:


			
exec('convert image.tif -resize 200x200 image.png');
