Package pdftex.def Error: File `LastFig2a-tif-converted-to.png' not found. ...ludegraphics[width=7.5cm]{LastFig2a.tif}}

Question

I have a latex file that includes figures in PDF and PNG format and compiles well. The journal asked me to convert all the figures to EPS or TIF. I converted all my figures to TIF.
When compiling I got the following error:

I use the following packages:

usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage{subfigure}
usepackage{epstopdf}
epstopdfDeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{png}{.png}{convert #1 OutputFile}
AppendGraphicsExtensions{.tif}

This is the way I use the figures for instance:

begin{figure}
    hfill
    subfigure[J48 - KDD]{includegraphics[width=7.5cm]{LastFig2a.tif}}
    hfill
    subfigure[CART - KDD ]{includegraphics[width=7.5cm]{LastFig2b.tif}}
    hfill
    subfigure[J48 - RLCP]{includegraphics[width=7.5cm]{LastFig2c.tif}}
    hfill
    subfigure[CART -  RLCP]{includegraphics[width=7.5cm]{LastFig2d.tif}}
    hfill
    caption{Accuracy Results for KDDCUP and RLCP dataset}
    label{fig:DS3}
end{figure}

What do I have to do that I'll be able to compile with TIF format as well as with eps?

To make the command
epstopdfDeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{png}{.png}{convert #1 OutputFile}

work, you need to have the convert tool installed. It comes with imagemagick. So make sure you have imagemagick installed.
Using this kind of command also requires the usage of --shell-escape option in the command line. Otherwise your .tif file won't get converted to .png.
Other option is to write a script to convert the image files to png separately and then run pdflatex.
