I don't know of any web browsers that display TIFF images; certainly not IE or
Firefox.  I suppose it should be possible to internally convert the TIFF to a
browser-supported image type in a temp file and send that to the browser as a
"preview", but image conversion is very CPU expensive.  You're better off just
storing it as an image type that web browsers can display in the first place.
