.tiff Revolution: Big Game Edition

at a certain point you really have to say that /g/ is only into computers so they can hold onto obscure, obsolete 90s standards and forever be a contrarian

tell us why these are "harmful" with your autistic basement reason so we can laugh at you. "we" referring to the employed

Redpill me on .tiff OP.

Professors at my school always told me to use this format for prints and it didn't bother me converting the pictures to .tiff so I kept using it.

Pic not related, just a cool gif.

give me moots email. ill mail him to support tiff in 4chan.

Isn't .tiff the same as .png but with a little more bloat?

>>56059885
Thank you tiff-san, for making it easy to softmod PSPs.

Nigga, tiff is used by literally everyone in the graphic design industry.
It has lower usage than jpeg but tiff is definitely the second most used image format there.

.tiff is really cool because you can for example create picture that is cropped while containing the actual full picture!

>>56060022
tiff can save transparency, paths, layers and color formats all while being completely lossless.
jpeg can do a few things of that but not everything and it's lossy, png can barely do anything of that and can't be used for printing.

tiff is the best of both worlds but like someone else said, tiff files are really big so they aren't practical for your average Joe.

arent tiff files fucking huge?

That's what we used for scans like in 2001

You mean FLIF, right?

>>56060761
No. It's magical image format deviced back in 80's. in days when HDD's were 10MB.

>>56060647
No, you can choose if you want compression or not and different methods of compressions (zip, lzw, etc).
Plus, you can save layers & paths.

>.tiff

Yeah no, I'd rather not use an imageformat that calls home.

I only really ever used .tiff because large networked scanners and fax gateways seemed to use it when I worked in a large office. Dunno if that's still the case, that was about ten years ago.

>>56059885
And which superset/superset of the available, incompatible *.tiff formats do you mean? Remember: Nobody has an implementation that covers all features and many vendors have some not so nice extras. Might as well request MrSID support.

>>56062587
Oh no not this meme again.

>>56059885
I used it back in the 80s on my NeXT computer

Not sure why would you do this now considering theres .jpg/png for images and psd for layers and other shit

Go jump off a tall building you fucking faggot.

>>56061099
source?

>>56061040
Yet they are larger than jpgs. Don't lie to fellow anons!

>>56061040
It's not magical.
It's only popular because some storage formats of it are faster to stream.

Ricoh devices still use it by default for scanning and fax forwarding but with the exception of one engineering house everyone has me set them up to do PDFs instead.
