No, the 'image/tiff' string is just a string. It could just as well be 'foo' as long as it's the same in both 
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkclipboard-quartz.c#n863 and 
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkquartz.c#n260. Quartz uses a single id, NSTIFFPboardType, for 
all image types.
