About TIFF files
When you're trying to view a TIFF image file, you may have been wondering what the big deal is. It's actually a standard image file format that is native to the Microsoft Windows GUI. TIFFs store graphical and photographic data. Because of this extensible nature, it's ideal for most image storage applications. Let's look at the structure of a TIFF file and how to view it.
TIFF files have a structure that allows for arbitrary additions without affecting general photo editing compatibility. They contain metadata, or tags, that describe the size, data arrangement, and compression algorithm. While TIFF supports several different types of compression, many users opt for lossless compression. These features are important because they allow for greater compression ratios, which makes it easy to create and edit high-quality images. TIFF files can be easily expanded to support proprietary tags.
