Abstract
From the description:
TIFF, or Tagged Image File Format, is a raster image format now maintained by Adobe Systems. TIFFs are a relatively lossless file format of high resolution bitmap images, typically 400-600 pixels per inch (ppi) and typically with a maximum file size of around 4 GB. TIFFs may also act as container files used to store smaller JPEGs acting as an image file directory.
TIFFs are often used as archival master copies to preserve as much detail of an image as possible to store in a digital repository or similar platform. Given their up to 4 GB size, TIFFs can also take up significant storage space, limiting the amount of items that can be uploaded and stored. TIFFs are frequently used to make derivative, lower-resolution copies (PNG, JPEG or JPEG2000 format) to be used for access copies in digital libraries, museum exhibits, or archives. This compressed format provides more seamless access for users.
