You need the file type property, Steve. This is accessed via the Finder or
the 'info for' command, and is the file's four character type code: "TIFF"
for tiffs, and "BMP " (note trailing space) for bmps. Syntax might look
something like this...
if file type of (info for alias "My HD:My Pix:My Photo") is "TIFF" then
tell app "PhotoShop" to do script "Mess up my Tiff"
else if file type of (info for alias "My HD:My Pix:My Photo") is "BMP " then
tell app "PhotoShop" to do script "Knacker my bitmap"
end if
