If you're producing a pdf, why don't you export your pictures as pdf to 
start with?

 ps2pdf also work under Windows but under Linux they throw errors of a

 converted to eps, not the files mentioned before) being too large (in
 inches). So I cannot test these methods.

Just to clarify - and likely you know it - tif is not a vector format
but a bitmap format.

I have a Linux system which does not have these problems, though it is
Gentoo, not Linux Mint. The problem with pdflatex might involve not
having a full texlive installed. As far as I can tell the conversion is
handled (at least in ps2pdf) by epstopdf, which is part of the
dev-texlive/texlive-fontutils package.

On my system LyX handles the tiff to PDF conversion with tiff2ps, which
is part of the media-libs/tiff package. You may be missing this package
(which may have a different name in Linux Mint).

Do you have installed epstopdf binary (part of texlive-fontutils)?
If not please report it on mint bug tracker that this should be part of
