Do you know how many layers are in your TIFF file?  If you install 
libtiff and utilities, what is the output of 'tiffinfo' when provided 
the name of your file?

My software (GraphicsMagick) may be useful but it only handles up to 
four channels ("layers"), one of which must be an alpha channel. 
There is likely other software much better at handling TIFFs with an 
arbitrary number of channels.
