Do you know how many layers are in your TIFF file? If you install
libtiff and utilities, what is the output of 'tiffinfo' when provided
the name of your file?
My software (GraphicsMagick) may be useful but it only handles up to
four channels ("layers"), one of which must be an alpha channel.
There is likely other software much better at handling TIFFs with an
arbitrary number of channels.
