TIFF at a glance

TIFF

TIFF emerged in desktop publishing and imaging workflows as a versatile raster format that could carry tags, compression choices, color information, and high-quality scan/print data more gracefully than simpler interchange targets.

DFF at a glance

DFF

DFF belongs to the Super Audio CD era, when DSD production chains needed a dedicated interchange wrapper distinct from mainstream PCM-oriented studio formats.
