The tagged image file format is known for producing excellent image results and is considered “The format of choice for archiving important images.” (Scan Tips) Tif files are used for color photographs and document imaging, as they provide quality color and grayscale images. Brian Lewis, PhD, says “This is the best format for color pictures and should be used to save the master copy of important photographs.” (SPCUG)
