Should tiffutil come with OS X's standard install? Using this command always results in a "Bus error" no matter the arguments.

I have been wondering since 10.0 how to create tiff4s with masks! Ive seen Apple and The Omni Group use hundreds of masked tiff4s in there apps, frameworks and even some of the documentation, so i assume that it is4nt that difficult to make them, but ive try4ed many ways but all of them failed. The closest i came was to make a picture, duplicated, fill it with black color, and then use icon-composer or iconata to make an icon out of it, AND THEN (long process) use preview to convert it to tiff4s, but thats a very long way to do it, and the app4s (icon-composer & iconata) has to set the size of the tiff (32bit, 64bit, 128bit)!

So my question is how do i make tiff4s with masks?

In Photoshop you just have to add an alpha channel and save as tiff. Works fine, just don't forget to premultiply the alpha afterwards:

tiffutil -lzw in.tiff -out out.tiff
