Editor to share with you what kind of format tiff refers to. I hope you will get something after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

Tiff is not only an image file format, but also a flexible bitmap format, which is mainly used to store images, including photos and art pictures. This format was originally developed by Aldus and Microsoft for PostScript printing.

Label Image File format (Tag Image File Format,TIFF) is a flexible bitmap format, which is mainly used to store images, including photos and art pictures. It was originally developed by Aldus and Microsoft for PostScript printing. TIFF, along with JPEG and PNG, has become a popular high-level color image format.

TIFF format is widely supported in the industry, such as Adobe's Photoshop, The GIMP Team's GIMP, Ulead PhotoImpact and Paint Shop Pro image processing applications, desktop printing and page typesetting applications such as QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign, scanning, fax, word processing, optical character recognition and other applications. Adobe, which obtained the PageMaker printing application from Aldus, controls the TIFF specification.

Format characteristics

Widely used

(1) TIFF can describe many types of images; (2) TIFF has a series of compression schemes to choose from; (3) TIFF does not depend on specific hardware; (4) TIFF is a portable file format.

Expandability

Many extensions are defined in TIFF 6.0.They allow TIFF to provide the following common functions:

(1) several main compression methods; (2) multiple color representation methods; (3) image quality enhancement; (4) special image effects; (5) document storage and retrieval help.

Complex format

The complexity of TIFF file brings some problems to its application. On the one hand, it is very difficult to write software that recognizes all the different tags. On the other hand, a TIFF file can contain multiple images, each with its own IFD and a series of tags, and uses a variety of compression algorithms. This also increases the complexity of programming.

TIFF in document Ima

TIFF format is the standard format in document image and document management system. In this environment, it usually uses CCITT Group IV 2D compression that supports black and white (also known as binary or monochrome) images. In mass production environments, documents are usually scanned into black and white images (rather than color or grayscale images) to save storage space. A4 size 200dpi (dots per inch) scan results average size is 30KB, while 300dpi scan results are 50KB. 300dpi is more commonly used than 200dpi.

Because the TIFF format supports multiple pages, multi-page files can be stored in one TIFF file instead of each scanned page in a series of files.
