If you're on CF8 and performance is not a big issue, you could use cfimage to read the tiff and then convert it to jpg... AFAIK, only the more obscure browsers natively support tiff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers#Image_format_support) so you'll be stuck with the no-control-over-the-client-side issue that Charlie mentioned. /m     : ok, I tried this <cfcontent type="image/tif" file="#thisPath#\test.TIF" :  deletefile="no" /> tif doesnt show up : but when i tried with 2 ffs, it works. i.e. <cfcontent type="image/tiff" :  file="#thisPath#\test.TIF" deletefile="no" /> :   : However, I would Like Internet Explorer to show the tif image in browser :  window just like it does for jpg file. I have code which shows jpg in browser :  frame, but for tif, I get a pop up saying, open the file using Adobe :  photoshop.
