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.
A tiff file contains image data.
TIFF File
of course tiff
Yes, TIFF or TIF is an image file format.
A tiff file format is a type of image. Tiff itself stands for Tag Image File Format. It is basically the same thing as a jpeg or png image.
Pages does not support exporting as a TIFF. If a TIFF file is essential then you can export as a PDF from Pages, open the PDF in Preview and Save As... a TIFF from Preview.
RIFF: Resource Interchange File Format TIFF: Tagged Image File Format RIFF developed by Microsoft Corporation TIFF developed by Aldus RIFF is a general framework file format for multimedia TIFF is used for images RIFF makes use of chunks TIFF makes use of image file directories Both are based on using TAGS
TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format :)
Most file types have different size depending on the content. .Tiff is a image file and can therefor vary a lot and become quite large.
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.
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
