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.
NCX at a glance
NCX
NCX was defined in the 2005 DAISY and ANSI-NISO talking-book standard, then carried forward into EPUB 2 and later treated as a legacy compatibility feature once EPUB 3 introduced XHTML navigation documents.
