You don't need alpha. Just use gray scaled image as alpha source.

Sorry, but why don't try a PNG and post it as bug report without trying enough? Even thought that's working with PSD?

Is not. Also your topic of title is not saying that tiff is not working. You wrote that shadow catcher does not work, why?

lol...its a feature or what?
U're kidding me??

He is not working....because i used tiff.

Its the first bridge (not in Vray, not in Maxwell, not in Indigo, not in Fry...) where you have to watch whitch output format i have to use that it works.

Your answers are always excuses.
Can u not saying: " It works with png or psd, but not with tiff.....u are right, thx for tip...i will fix it"

you are wrong! a regular TIF image works as an png image. I think that Aoktar simply need more info about what you do.
Probably you don't do it correctly. Pure and simple...
