How I can compress a TIFF file to the smallest file size without losing quality of the picture?<\/h1>\n

The ability to store image data in a lossless format makes a TIFF file a useful image archive, because,
\nunlike standard JPEG files, a TIFF file using lossless compression (or none) may be edited and re-saved
\nwithout losing image quality. This is not the case when using the TIFF as a container holding compressed JPEG.<\/p>\n

Available TIFF compression options.
\n– for black-and-white<\/strong> images: CCITT1D, G3FAX1D, G3FAX2D, G4FAX, LZW, PACKBITS, ZIP
\n– for color<\/strong> images: LZW, JPEG, PACKBITS, ZIP, ADOBEZIP<\/p>\n

Lossless<\/strong> compression: CCITT1D, G3FAX1D, G3FAX2D, G4FAX, LZW, PACKBITS, ZIP.
\nLossy<\/strong> compression: JPEG.<\/p>\n

The best compression for black-and-white images is G4FAX<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/h3>\n

There are 2 methods to change (set) TIFF compression.<\/p>\n

Method 1.<\/h4>\n

Use these actions at each file saving.<\/span><\/p>\n

File - Save as - Advanced - TIFF compression - OK - Save<\/pre>\n
\"file<\/a>
File – Save as<\/p><\/div>\n
\"click<\/a>
Click “Advanced” button<\/p><\/div>\n
\"advanced<\/a>
Advanced parameters – TIFF compression<\/p><\/div>\n
Method 2.<\/h4>\n
Use these actions only once.
\n<\/span>
\nYour settings will be used at each file saving. You don’t need to click “Advanced” button every time.<\/p>\n
Settings | User settings | Saving tab | Tiff compression\r\nUse default compression = ON\r\nChoose necessary compression\r\nOK<\/pre>\n
