The simplest thing for me to do right now is to stop using tiff. I have a small number of images and it is easy for me to convert them to jpg using preview. You are correct that what I wanted to do was to reveal the full image in the same place. I used a twc utility called ThumbThing (from Eric Shulman, see http://www.tiddlytools.com/#ThumbThing) that worked this way (see attachment). I used the utility to randomly select a file (from a list of locally stored pictures), automatically display it as thumbnail, click on thumbnail to show the full image, and click on the full image to hide it.
