About TIF (.TIF)
A TIF (Tagged Image File) is a flexible raster image format commonly used for storing high-quality graphics and photographs. It supports multiple layers and channels, making it popular in professional photography and publishing. Originally developed by Aldus Corporation in the 1980s, it was designed to be a standard for desktop publishing. Its ability to retain image detail without compression loss makes it ideal for archival purposes.
Technical Details
Technically, TIF files use a tagged structure to store image data, where each tag defines specific information about the image like dimensions, color depth, and compression type. The format can store color depths ranging from 1-bit monochrome to 24-bit or higher true color images. It supports both lossless and lossy compression methods, making it adaptable to various use cases. The extensive metadata capability within TIF files allows embedding detailed information about the image, such as author and creation date.
Additional Information & Use Cases
TIF files can include various compression schemes, such as LZW or JPEG compression, to reduce file size while maintaining image quality. They are widely supported across different operating systems and image editing software, contributing to their longevity. Interestingly, TIF files often serve as a preferred format for scanning documents due to their clarity and versatility. Many scanners and fax machines use TIF as a default output format because of this reliability.
