I am new at rendering and am trying to get familiar with it. I wanted to save the compression quality so I wanted to save my render as a Tif image.

When I brought it into photoshop it looked like this!

It seems to have taken away a lot of the picture and I have no idea why. Any ideas?!

the tiff saves your transparency area, so the part that you can't see are actually "transparent" part in your model (which is usually black <- depend on ur maya background color setting).

if you don't want transparency, imho, you can expand ur base plane further so that it cover the whole screen, or you could place a new plane at the back (function like a wall).

transparency is usefull, when you want to merge / join image.
eg.
i created a "testing" object in maya, and save it with tiff format
i get a wallpaper from here

and now i want to put my "testing" object up on the wallpaper.
so, i load the paintshop pro, make a rectangular selection then load the alpha channel, so i quickly get my shape. like below.

i contract 2 pixel and expand 1 pixel and so i get below. (so that it looks more smooth)

Well check it out, even if I expand the base plane it will still be transparent on the model.

Check out on the paint how it is transparent even though you would be able to see the bottom plane behind it.

There are spots on the car paint that are just see through.

what image format are you using to save image to tiff format. it is simple if you have a image processing application for you. very easy to merge tiff files as well.
