Yes there is.

1. Step 1:

   Go to... View > Visualisation > Raster Image
   

   

2. Step 2:

   The Raster Image dialogue box pops up with all the options.
   Click on 'Specify TIFF image'
   

   

3. Step 3:

   As you've already noticed only TIFF files are supported, use your favourite image editor to convert your images to TIF format.

   Pick the image you want.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Now you've chosen the image, you now have to create the Raster image in the model view by clicking on 'Create Raster Image'
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Then the Image will appear in the model view.
   Use the options to resize, set transparency and manipulate position and angle using the Trident handles.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Apply! Then you're ready to sketch.
