Tagged Image File Format
Use
You can import and view Tagged Image (.tif, .tiff) files. You can also save files to these formats.
The .tif and .tiff file formats, developed by Aldus and now controlled by Adobe, are the standard formats for high color depth (32-bit) graphics. They are highly compressed 2-bit formats that can render to a very high resolution; for example, 16,000 x 16,000, are widely used in image manipulation applications such as Photoshop, DTP, and scanning, and can be directly manipulated by PostScript. These formats include a number of options that can be used to indicate the simple geometry of the image, such as its size, but others define how the data is arranged and various image compression options.
Features
These formats contain both import and export options. You can use them to customize the way in which your file is opened and saved.
