Best Answer

yes, but you will have very large file if layers are included and experts recommend .psd format for files with layers. If you work in Photoshop better choice is .psd format when layers are included in file, if you need to save in .tif, after choosing this format it will ask you for kind of compression, best choice is LZW, if you choose none, then file size will be huge.

Which has a larger file format JPEG file or tiff file?

These are different file formats. jpeg uses a lossy compression algorithm. Tiff can use a lossless algorithm (the compression algorithithm can be defined for each image).TIFF is a flexible, adaptable file format for handling images and data within a single file, by including the header tags (size, definition, image-data arrangement, applied image compression) defining the image's geometry. For example, a TIFF file can be a container holding compressed (lossy) JPEG and (lossless) PackBits compressed images. A TIFF file also can include a vector-based Clipping path (outlines, croppings, image frames). The ability to store image data in a lossless format makes a TIFF file a useful image archive, because, unlike standard JPEG files, a TIFF file using lossless compression (or none) may be edited and re-saved without losing image quality. This is not the case when using the TIFF as a container holding compressed JPEG. Other TIFF options are layers and pages, neither are supported by JPEG.


Can a TIF file have more than one image saved in it?

Multi-page One final important difference between TIFF and most other image file formats is that TIFF defines support for multiple images in a single file. Such a file is then called 'multi-page' TIFF. Thus, the TIFF format is very well suited to e.g. store the many pages of a single fax in a single file. http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/faq.html
