It might be faster to use imagemagick - something like:

ls *.tif | xargs -l -i convert -fill white -draw 'rectangle
0,0,100,100' {} new_images/{}

You probably need to adjust the coordinates for the rectangle, and the
above command assumes you are inside the directory with the TIFF files
and you have created a new directory inside of it named "new_images".
I'm using linux also - I'm pretty sure imagemagick runs on windows,
but I have no experience with it...

HTH,
