I'd recommend GifConverter from Info-Mac, or SuperPaint does a nice job
as well. BTW, isn't Canvas supposed to read TIFF files directly? If this
is so then you may have

?    used text transfer mode instead of "default" (binary)
?    and/or you havent changed the file type to TIFF using ResEdit or
     	Filetyper etc. In this case, use GifConverter because It can look
inside
     files and fix their file types.
