Export is correct.

How did you determine that you ended up with a PNG file?

In Terminal you can try running the "file" command on it to see, e.g.
file my-left-foot.tif
(the last few letters of the filename, ".tif" here, can be anything, 
and do not determine whether a file contains a TIFF or JPEG or PNG 
image)
