TIFF
image files can use LZW lossless compression. Lossless means
there is no quality loss caused by compression of the image.
LZW compression guarantees that you can always decode back
exactly the smae data that you encoded, bit-for-bit
without any data corruption. This is a critical
factor for archiving master copies of important images.
TIFF
LZW compression is most effective when compressing solid
colors (graphics), and is less effective for 24 bit
photo images. Featureless
areas
compress better than detailed areas.
Lempel-Ziv-Welch compression method is the most commonly
used compression method for web graphics. The two most common uses of the
LZW compression is with GIF images and TIFF images. The LZW compression
method usually compresses files into half of their original size.
TIFF LZW support is
