Q: Trying to import TIFF files from iPad Photos app

I have a bunch of TIFF files stored on an iPad using the Photos app.  I need to get them back off the iPad onto a MacBook.  After trying Aperture, Photos (Mac), and Image Capture, none of them let me see the TIFF files.  They do see a few jpegs that are on the iPad, however, so I know there is a link working.

Any idea how I can get them off?  I posted this question in the iPad group, with no success.

  I'd prefer to be able to import them directly to an older iMac into iPhoto 9, If this can't be done, then if I can get them onto my MacBook Pro with present operating system I can transfer them to the older computer.  I don't want to update the operating system or version of iphoto on the older computer because it is my mothers and she can't handle interface changes well.

Thanks

iPad, iOS 9.3.3
