I think WP is being a naughty TIFF reader.

There's a section of the TIFF file that specifies which direction the gray
scale goes, and it looks like WP is assuming one direction while AppleScan
writes another.

One simple way of fixing it would be to find a program that can read the file
correctly and then write it back out so that a WP reads it correctly; you'll
need to experiment with the software you have access to.

Hope this helps.
