Actually, opaque is 1.0 and transparent is 0.0 (or if using 8bit components, respectively 255 and 0).

Also, as I saw another message was about premultiplying the TIFFs, don't forget this is a lossy process and you should keep the original file as well - the one not premultiplied (Photoshop) - (in the case you want to later change the alpha channel...)

You don't. TIFFs don't support masks. They support much better thing -- the
alpha channel. Just set whatever part of your image which should be
transparent to have full alpha, and whantever part which should be opaque to
have zero alpha.

BEsides, you can use all the values between 0 and 1 to have partially
transparent parts of image, which is something mask would never allow you.
