That seems kind of absurd.... Is the structure of the TIFF file really
such that the image must be loaded into memory as a whole or something?!
I've had good success with converting (including size conversion)
between other image formats on a roughly scanline-by-scanline basis,
which allows absolutely huge images to be converted with no memory
problems. [I'm writing my own software though; I don't know which other
packages do this.]
