In what way, may I ask?  I have shared JPGs with 
Mac users on many occasions (I'm on a PC.)

For TIFF, there is the issue of byte-ordering, 
but I believe most decent applications recognize 
the byte order and handle the file properly, 
regardless.

The only issue I've seen, on occasion, is 
that Mac users don't need to concern themselves 
with filename extensions.  This can of course 
create confusion if said files are sent to a PC.
