Strange, because I have no problem opening tifs in preview.
Try this: single-click one of your .tif files and press Command-I (Get Info under the File Menu). Near the bottom of the info window, there's a pop-up called "Open With." Choose Preview. Under that there's a button labeled "Change All..." Press ok in the resulting dialog box and Preview should then open all your .tif files.Hi I have a Mac desk top, OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan. I can not open tif files with Preview. How do I open tif's ?? THANKS so much, Steve

I know this because I had a problem with graphics/photos opening in Preview when I wanted them to open in Photoshop and this procedure worked like a charm for me.
As for Preview needing to convert anything, the only time I've seen that happen would be double-clicking an .eps file and Preview would do it's thing when I actually wanted Illustrator to open them. I repeated the same steps above and now I never have to bother with Preview.
