Don't use scene.  Download the "background" app from Purdue or Oregon State.
Background is yet another neat mini-program from Scott Hess.  When you 
autolaunch background it automagically loads your .tiff file.

The _only_ flaw with background is it must be running to display the .tiff --
obviously, Keith Olhfs (sp?) uses some other neat trick to kill scene & leave 
the background.
