I gather pygame.image.save does not support writing tiff files. Yet it

I think that if it does not recognise the extension, it saves it as a
tga. I've never tried to save as .tif, but I suspect that it would
save your surface as a .tga file, but with the original filename with
a .tif extension.
eg. Surface + 'Surface.tif' -> 'Surface.tif' (TGA image file)
Yes. The suffix will remain. You even can use foo.barbaz as image and it
still will be in TGA format, which is used as catchall for unrecognized
formats. However, the code needs a bit refining (each filename ending on
a 'p' will be saved as BMP), so I'll add that to the docs, when I'm
improving the filetype recognition.
