Overview |
| TIFF or TIF is particularly used by graphic artists and photographers to store the raster images. It is very easy to scan and fax under this extension. It offers other features as well like word processing, image manipulation, optical character recognition and DTP (Desktop publishing)- which use page layout software. Earlier it was capable of storing two values of each pixel that is why it was only binary image format but now it can have both grayscale images and colour images. It has become more popular due to its wide acceptance of deep-colour photographs. Besides this, it can also have a vector-based clipping path which comprises of outlines and cropping. |
Technical description |
| The photos have a high quality of graphics as this format supports colour depths from 1 to 24 bits. A single TIFF file can also include header tags which define the geometry of an image like size, definition, image-data arrangement and applied image compression. It offers LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch) compression which follows a lossless algorithm to reduce the size of a file. Hence, these files can be edited and saved again without any loss of image quality. It also reserves the information of compression method and by default, the value is one, which means no compression. Furthermore, this format uses 32- bit offsets, which restricts the file size to 4 GiB (Gibibytes). Some variants may also use 64-bit offsets to provide compatibility to large files. It should be noted that every file of this type begins with a two-byte indicator of byte order. |

Overview |
| This EXR extension stores the raster or bitmap images, which are dot matrix structures. It is also an open standard format with a free software license. It works effectively with HDR images(High Dynamic Range). The pictures that are stocked using this format can have either lossy or lossless compression. It has the capability to keep photographs of high luminance and colour. It supports pictures of multiple layers that possess high quality. This format is used by many photo editors in order to add visual effects as well as animation due to its flexibility in compressing the images to both lossy and lossless algorithms. |
Technical description |
| EXR can support multiple channels with varied pixel sizes that are 32-bit and 16-bit floating-point values. It contains arbitrary channels and it can cover multiple points of view. For instance, the left side and right side camera images. Composting is an enhanced feature in this format which allows assembling of numerous pictures to one final photo. There is no need to make separate files for storing the information of arbitrary channels like diffuse, alpha, specular; as all can be combined to one file of this type. A compositor can also modify the specific channel if he is not satisfied with the current appearance of specular reflections or specularity. It has different compression methods for varied types. For grainy images PIZ algorithm is suitable and images that are without a lot of grain, ZIP compression works the best. |
