Depends on the type of tif file. Fax tifs tend to be lower quality, sorta by definition since even ``high resolution'' faxes are pretty weak. The tiff/F fax files often present scaling problems when read with software that isn't tuned for this. I normally use the HylaFAX fax2ps program to handle faxes. The ImageMagick convert program has numerous options to set size, and some quality parameters that may help. I would also try the gimp or xv to see how they do with the tif files you're converting. I don't think these can be scripted as convert can, but it wouldn't surprise me if the gimp can.
