Answer 1

For TIFF Support, see Java Advanced Imaging.

From the FAQ

What image file formats are supported?

The codec classes supplied with Java Advanced Imaging 1.1.2_01 support BMP, GIF (read only), FlashPix (read only), JPEG, PNG, PNM, TIFF, and WBMP.

Answer 2

From memory, Tiff files are not supported via this means. You will need to look towards the ImageIO API and probably a third party library.

Oddly enough, a 3 second search of google found this Can't read and write a TIFF image file using Java ImageIO standard library
