Perhaps a more accurate way of putting it is TIFF with JPEG compression. But you are certainly able to have a TIFF file without JPEG compression and a JPEG file completely separately.
It is interesting that a lot of apps don't support JPEG compression for TIFFs, Photoshop does. Graphic Converter (which you would think might - since it supports almost every format known to human beings - and proabably a few invented on other planets too) doesn't. For exhaustive readings on JPEG you can also consult the JPEG FAQs <http://www.faqs.org/faqs/jpeg-faq/part1/> cheers Richard -- www.method-photo.co.uk Quoting Bob Croxford: > What I was trying to clarify is that a Jpeg does not exist > independently of a Tiff file.
