Subject: Tiff question

Is there a way to make a tiff file into a multi page type document? So someone can kind of flip thru pages? Also, is tiff better than jpeg or bmp?

Not quite sure I understand your query. Do you want to make ONE Tiff into multiple pages or several Tiffs? If several, look into Adobe Acrobat Distiller. You can make cross-platform docs, multiple pages, easy to "flip" thru. Many have Acrobat Reader, avaiable free. You may have it and not know it. Look on HD or on CDs with new Applications or Browsers. Tiffs are best for importing into another program, like a page layout program, Quark XPress. JPGs are best for WWW pages that have blending color. GIFs are also for WWW pages where the image is more hard edged, with flat color. I don't use BMPs much.

Thanks I think I figured it out.

Hi Deal, always keep in mind that jpg is a destructive file format. So always save a tiff or bmp file of your pictures...

What do you mean destructive?

Tif files use LZW compression which is "lossless", i.e. the no data is lost and the uncompressed version is identical to the original, but LZW generally cannot squish files down as small as jpeg compression. Jpeg compression is "lossy" (some data is thrown out during compression and later estimated for display).
