TIF image file

My apologies if this question is beyond the scope of this mailing list,
but I need a nudge in the right direction.

 

I have some TIF files that I transferred from a windows box to a linux
box over a Samba connection.   I cannot get Apache to display the
file.TIF  with this simple .htm :

<html>

<body>

<img src="file.TIF">

</body>

</html>

 

When I convert it to a PNG with Win Paint, and then copy over, I can get
Apache to show it.  

This works:

<html>

<body>

<img src="file.PNG">

</body>

</html>

 

Does anyone know why I can't get TIF files to display on Linux / Apache?
Am I missing a conversion?   Any help is appreciated.  Thankyou.

 

My env is:  Linux AS3/ Apache2

 

Terry

That's correct.  There are plugins to do this, and I think a new flash 
jobber that can open and load tifs.  You could look into image magick 
for doing conversions on the fly for things like previewing before 
downloading.

Just a thought...

Thankyou.  I suspect you're right.  Any free converters out there for
TIF to PNG for either Win or Linux platforms?

It's not apache that's having problems. I don't believe TIF images can
be
displayed by web browsers.

It's not apache that's having problems. I don't believe TIF images can be
