TIFFtiedostoon

TIFFtiedostoon is a file format commonly used for storing raster graphics images. It stands for Tagged Image File Format and was developed by Aldus Corporation in the late 1980s. The format is widely supported by various image editing software and is known for its flexibility and ability to handle a wide range of image types and color depths.

TIFF files can store images in different color spaces, including grayscale, RGB, CMYK, and others. They also support multiple layers, which allows for complex image editing and manipulation. One of the key features of TIFF is its ability to store metadata, which can include information about the image's creation, editing history, and other relevant details.

The TIFF format is versatile and can be used for both high-resolution images and simple graphics. It is particularly popular in professional photography, publishing, and graphic design industries. However, due to its complexity and the large file sizes it can produce, TIFF is not always the best choice for web-based images.

TIFF files are typically identified by their .tif or .tiff file extensions. The format is an open standard, which means that its specifications are publicly available and can be implemented by anyone. This has contributed to its widespread adoption and compatibility across different platforms and software applications.
