You might try this. It certainly works for 8 bit tiffs.

ReadImage[filename_, format_] := Import[filename, format][[1, 1]]

ReadImage::usage = "ReadImage[filename_,format_] Read an image from a 
file of the specified format (see $ImportFormats). Result is an array 
of either 2 or 3 dimensions, in the order {rows,columns,colors} or 
{rows,columns}. Elements of the array are typically integers between 
0 and 255. ";
