I'm playing with PostScript language and was interested in reading a TIFF
image as a overlay, which is stored on disk into my ps program.

Appreciate any information if this is possible.

PosrScript interpreters cannot read TIFF files directly. You need
to convert TIFF to EPS, for instance, using tiff2ps from libtiff
package.

TIFF and PS are not the same.

You certainly can use a PS program to read TIFF images. This is not an easy
task,
but not a really hard one either. Attempting to get around a few problems
with


You should do the same thing. The key is your use of "overlay". In PS inks
are opaque, even white ones. TIFF does not directly map to the PS image
model -- particularly with bit depths and masks. You will have to construct
your own logic to create the idea of "overlay". You might have to write
your
own image operator to deal with the mask effect, but you might be able to
get most of the work done with chromakey masking in PS3.
