figure can not be found error

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 623 bytes --]

I am attempting for the first time to import a figure into a ConTeXt
document and am getting "figure 0481c can not be found." I am using TexLive
on a Windows Vista system. I thought I was following the manual but
apparently am doing something wrong. Here is the relevant code:
 
%file 0481c.tif is located in c:\BookLayouts\Wisconsin\photos
 
\setupexternalfigures[directory={c:/BookLayouts/Wisconsin/photos}]
 
\useexternalfigure[ladies][0481c][width=3.127in]
 
%after \starttext
 
\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[ladies]}

tiff is not supported directly (the format is simply too open ended) so 
use png instead of convert them them to pdf beforehand

A good option is to convert a tiff file in pdf; see
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tiff.htm
