TIFF is a tag-based file format designed to promote universal interchanges of digital image data. Because TIFF files do not have a single way to store image data, there are many versions of TIFF. LEADTOOLS supports the most common TIFF formats. The usual file extension is TIFF for single-image files, and MPT for multi-page files (which can contain many images). TIFF files can contain many comment fields of various types.
LEADTOOLS also supports the ability to save a vector image as a DXF within a TIFF.
LEAD supports saving multi-page files in this format.
LEADTOOLS can write TIFF files that use RGB, CMYK, or YCbCr color space. LEADTOOLS can also write files with PackBits compression.
LEADTOOLS can also write files with Lossless JPEG compression for 8, 12, and 16-bit grayscale and 24-bit color spacing.
You can write 12- bit grayscale.
You can write 16- bit grayscale.
