Tiff is a lossless file format capable to store not just layers but vector information like paths, and advanced color information like alpha channel and color profile.
On the other hand with JPG is always compressed, even in hq precise lines are always a bit blurry compared to tiff (look up how it works), it can really fuck up a high-quality or large-scale print, can't store just a single color profile and if you scale a jpg on the layout the output can be also messy.
- and opening a high-scale high-res tiff (+1200dpi) takes less time due to the decompression process what's required with jpgsted
- but an image. solely an image. with paper and gain and all that is tiff better than a high quality jpg? i think not.deathboy
- depends. How good is the image itself? How hard is the jpg compressed? How good is the printing process before and while printing?mekk
- 100% jpg from tiff. I think will look the same on the same print sourcedeathboy
- at least ive never seen a difference on my pixma pro at home or heidelburgs, but i also wasnt 1 - 1 testing. just let the pdf renderdeathboy
