Why Convert JPEG to TIFF?
JPEG files compress images to reduce file size but sacrifice some image data and quality. TIFF files offer lossless storage, preserving full image detail and color depth, which is critical when you plan to edit extensively or archive high-quality masters. - Preserves existing image quality: TIFF keeps all current image data intact for future edits. - Supports layers and masks: Ideal for complex retouching and compositing workflows. - Enables archival storage: TIFF is the preferred format for long-term preservation of high-quality images. - Ensures print compatibility: Most professional print labs accept TIFF for proofs and final prints. For instance, a wedding photographer might convert client JPEG proofs to TIFF for final retouching before print or album design, preserving every nuance of color and detail.
