I was mainly responding to the line you wrote saying

"A Jpeg is a compressed Tiff."

which is obviously misleading.

There are many issues with saving and resaving JPEGs especially with loss of
quality.

Also not that many apps support JPEG compression of TIFFs (Photoshop is one) but
if someone were to send a JPEG compressed TIFF it is possible it might not be
read.

Dear Richard

Please read my posts. I didn't say that Jpeg and Tiff weren't invented 
by different people. I didn't say that Jpegs were lossless.

Open a Jpeg in PS and although it appears as a Jpeg and will re-save as 
a jpeg it is identical to the Tiff file you get when you save to Tiff. 
Try saving it as a Tiff and tell me what the difference is? As far as I 
know the only differences, when open, are in the tags. Change the one 
that says 'I am a jpeg' to 'I am a Tiff' and that is what you get.

I also know that there are several different Tiffs, those that read up 
and down and those that read left to right for starters. In the context 
of Mike's post and for all practical purposes I haven't said anything 
wrong.
