'TIFF' has been described as 'Thousands of Incompatible File
Formats'.  I've seen warnings in gimp, in the past, when
opening tiffs created by a proprietary application (they were
created many years ago), but at least they opened.

An overview of the formats is at wikipedia.

Perhaps you could raise an issue at https://github.com/processing to
see if the requirements are documented anywhere ?
