That is most likely because most TIFF files already apply lossless compression. TIFF is just a container format, and it does offer the possibility of compressing the contents. I know Photoshop offers this as an option when saving as TIFF ... They probably use a Lempel-Zif compression, much like ZIP. >Others have also reported similar results.

If you save an inage as UNCOMPRESSED TIFF from Photoshop, e regular ZIP will be able to compress it down, taking perhaps upto 40% of the size off (heavily depending on image content/detail :-) Regards, JvW ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jan van Wijk; http://www.dfsee.com/gallery -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
