NeXT TIFF images will typically have two bits/pixel of gray and 
sometimes two bits/pixel of transparency. Could this be confusing
the Macintosh programs?

You might want to try an .tiff file from the Webster pictures
directory --- I believe those are one bit/pixel and have no alpha.
(The Webster pictures are in /MyDisk/Library/References.)
