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.
MIFF at a glance
MIFF
MIFF reflects the older tradition of image-processing toolkits defining their own native technical formats for fidelity and internal workflow convenience.
