You have to know if the image is compressed or not and insert the
appropriate uncompress command in the pipeline (or, as a special case,
use the GNU tar 'z' option, which does that for you).

Note that the image header (the first 32 KByte block of the file) tells
whether the image is compressed or not.  For that matter, it tells you
the exact command sequence to use to recover the image.
