I don't need to create them, I need to colour placed .tifs.

That's good to know.

Did you try changing the colour of it as it was placed?

Would you share your minimal example?

Thus far I have:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[xetex]{color}
\usepackage[xetex]{graphicx}

\newcommand{\maskcolour}{\special{color cmyk .3 .0 0.04 0}}
\begin{document}
\maskcolour
\includegraphics{ADA006-LVL1-MA-BL.TIF}
\end{document}
