TIFFs are most likely to trip you up. LZW compressed TIFFs will be
automatically embedded (there's even a warning for it) because mental images
still stubbornly refuse to support it, even after the patents have expired.
They got a bit testy after Pixar forced them to drop monte-carlo sampling
due to their patent on it. Shake and Photoshop write out TIFFs with LZW
compression on by default.
Any other image format not natively supported by mental ray will get
embedded in the file.

Let me know if you can learn how to do anything with 16 bit TIFFs from
XSI...Photoshop refuses to open them, After Effects 6.5 and 7 the same,
and Digital Fusion 4 and Fusion 5 open them but they apear all stretched
on the X axis...Is ANYONE doing anything at all with 16 bit TIFFS
generated by XSI outside XSI?
