I think just your Windows Picture viewer will work. Here is a link with more information then you could ever want to know about .tiff. http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000022.shtml |

You can also get the very nice freeware file viewer "Irfanview," which will open just about anything, run slide shows, resize, and also convert the files to other formats. |
