Poser supposedly saves in uncompressed tif format, but I don't know why that would be a problem. I tried opening a Poser Created tif in Corel PhotoPaint 8, ACDSee, Irfanview and a VB application using the GFL SDK for image loading. All of them worked fine. If you don't find a solution to the issue with Image Magick, you might look at GFL (link). They don't list a Perl interface, though they do support ASP. I don't use Perl so I don't know how difficult it would be for you to use. PaintX is another free image library you might look at as well (http://www.paintlib.de/paintlib/). I saw an Image Magick bug list that mentioned problems with variations of the tif format though not exactly what you are describing. That would be the first place to look, if you haven't already. I don't think most people are going to be uploading tif files anyway. JPG, GIF and PNG are the formats folks are accustomed to using on the web anyway and even if tif worked, the extra size means that most people would probably stick to jpg, especially since it's going to be converted to jpg anyway. In short, while its a neat feature, I don't see it as a real compelling need for a site. The resizing is a great idea and if you can pull that off for jpg, png and gif then I think that's probably enough. Just my opinion anyway :-)
