If there's a strong need to provide TIFF images, we suggest the student submit these as separate files.  We haven't set any restrictions on the use of JPG, GIF, or PNG formats, and I just want to make sure we're not missing something.

My sugestion is only do not use file formats under restrictions as 
patents or closed specifications, a work published with elements under 
this conditions can have forbidden your circulation due to legal issues.
