Foil 18 Graphics File Formats: TIFF

From Image Format Basics CPS606fall96 -- Fall Semester 96. by Nancy J. McCracken * See also color IMAGE
The TIFF (Tag Image File Format) was introduced by Aldus in 1986 as a standard image file format.
It is very flexible, allowing many different types of compressions and formats, which are differentiated by ³tags².
Up to 24 bit color pixels.
Since there are so many options, very difficult for application programs to support reading all TIFF files.
