Afaict it is rare for a photographic TIFF to contain more information
than can be stored exactly in a PNG. PNG is a much saner format than
TIFF for a project like commons.
What we do need though is the ability to choose thumbnail parameters
other than size. e.g. have a png in storage but generate JPEG thumbnails
from it.
