TIFFs are more in-line with a combination of FLAC/WAV from the audio world. It's meant for raw data used in production/manipulation.
As a professional you would work with TIFFs/RAW photo formats and then master it in JPEG XL for mass-consumption.
- ComputerGuru 4y agoI’m aware that it isn’t meant to replace TIFF, but merely having document/multi-page support wouldn’t do that (or at least, not for most pro usages). There’s a severe dearth of consumer-friendly multi-page static image containers that don’t start with the letters P and D and end with F, and it would be great if someone in a position of influence would suggest such a format (especially if it really were just “multiple page support” and not “everything plus the kitchen sink masquerading as a multi-page image/document format).
