Unfortunately, the Apple software writes its files with white as the 0 value. WordPerfect must make the same guess. I patched the tiffcp program from libtiff to set the photometric interpretation flag to MINISWHITE. For a solution on a PC or Mac, I'd guess there must be a similar library of software. Ken
