» Home » Graphics TIF:
A Very Flexible File Format The TIFF format is very common in graphic design. Most every image-editing program can create and save an image file in this format. They're also ideal for importing into page-layout programs. Unlike other formats, a designer isn't limited to one color mode. One can save a TIFF in either bitmap, index color, grayscale, RGB or CMYK color mode. A designer can also save a TIFF at any resolution though it's best to save an image at 100% and at the image resolution needed. The TIFF format was actually created for the purpose of scanning which explains why the format is so versatile. TIFFs makes an ideal format to choose for that purpose. One can save TIFF files for both Macintosh and Windows systems, though a "byte order" (which is platform-specific) needs to be chosen when the image file is saved. The TIFF format also come with the option for image compression
that can make the file size smaller. The compression can be significant
especially in the case of a large file. TIFFs uses LZW compression. This
compression is lossless which means that file data isn't lost when this
option is chosen. However, many printers or service bureaus will have
to uncompress a TIFF image file before it can be output to film by an
imagesetter.
