If that works, try it again without the "-density 300 -units pixelsperinch" options.

didn't someone say there were no hoops to jump through??

sure looks like hoops to me.

Incidentally, all of that works exactly the same way on an OSX or MS-WINDOWS machine.

Not on my OSX machine it doesn't. I import RAW files (NEF, CR2, & RAF) into Lightroom or open in ACR without jumping through a single hoop. Admittedly I have set up my LR import & file handling preferences. Images adjusted non-destructively in LR and can be exported in your format of choice. If taken into Photoshop the resulting image can be saved in your format of choice. Not a hoop in sight.

there's nothing to set up to support tif in lightroom or photoshop.

as you say, it 'just works'.

on a mac, tif, jpeg and many other image formats, are native, just like text and pdf. that means even the simplest app can support just about anything.
