Once NSImage has really loaded the data (which may be lazy), it's just  
bytes in a certain configuration.  The original format has been lost  
(unless I'm wrong, of course).

However, if you can load it with NSImage, you can write it out in a  
format of your choosing.  TIFFRepresentation will always write out  
tiff data.

So, you could take your data, load it up with NSImage, and write it  
out as a tiff.
