TIFF is somehow similar to other raster formats like JPEG, PNG, BMP, etc. See the related question to get an overview on similarities and differences between these formats.
Image file formats.
Jpeg, gif, tiff
TIFF is a lossless compression. JPEG throws away data to reduce file sizes.
The type of photo file formats that the PlayStation 3 can support are JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, PNG and MPO.
There are JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, DIB, TIFF as common formats, and more.
The main difference between JPG and TIFF file formats is the way they store image data. JPG files use lossy compression, which reduces file size but can result in some loss of image quality. TIFF files, on the other hand, use lossless compression, which preserves image quality but results in larger file sizes.
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
File formats supported by PSP: jpeg (jpg), tiff, gif, png, bmp
Tiff and Jpg are both image file formats. Tiff stands for: Tag Image File Format and Jpg stands for: Joint Photographic Group. Jpg is also now known as Jpeg, the E stands for Experts.
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
The main differences between TIFF and PNG file formats are that TIFF supports higher color depths and is lossless, while PNG supports transparency and is lossless as well. TIFF is more suitable for high-quality image preservation due to its ability to retain more color information and detail.
The main differences between TIFF and JPEG file formats are that TIFF is a lossless format, meaning it retains all image data, while JPEG is a lossy format, which compresses image data and may result in some loss of quality. TIFF is better for preserving image quality as it does not compress the image data, while JPEG is more suitable for web use or sharing due to its smaller file size.
