[or-roots] TIFF photos not accepted for GPPs

[W David Samuelsen]

Got reply from programmer...

No tiff's are not accepted.

PHP does not have any tools for converting tiff photos.  The GPP can accept
jpeg, gif and png.  All get converted to jpeg's for storage though because
it works the best for these types of photos.

Tiff files will have to be converted prior to upload.  In addition tiff
files are usually huge so it would benefit the crontributor to convert it
anyway.  The upload file size would probably be reduced to about 1/10th of
the original size.

So, the TIFFs have to be converted to jpeg (jpg), gif or png before you can
upload. The best software I've found to handle this is ScanSoft's PaperPort.
