My background is in GIS; I work a lot with GeoTIFFs (TIFF files with a world file that tells a GIS where in the world that image belongs). They are almost always single page TIFFs, so I don't have MUCH to offer in the way of advice. Still, the idea occurs to me: Have you considered converting them to PDFs? PDFs can be lossless, they can be multi-page, and they can be viewed in many different viewers ;)
It's probably not the solution you're looking for... But based on my limited experience, it's probably what I would try first.
