The importance of photographic film preservation in our ever-evolving digital world ensures high quality digital images are created and preserved for our cultural and personal heritage. Our award winning company digitises physical content from Nitrate, Acetate and Safety Film types. Once digitised media can be uploaded to the cloud for preservation and access.
WHAT IS A JPEG? A JPEG (or Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a raster image file, that is composed of a grid of pixels. JPEGs use different levels of smart compression that deletes data to make the file size smaller. Note, that every time the image is edited and saved it will be compressed to some degree. This compression is heavier in color than clarity.
WHAT IS A TIFF? A TIFF (or Tagged Image File Format) is also a raster image file that it’s composed of a grid of pixels. TIFFs are uncompressed files using lossless compression. The results are very high quality images and, subsequently, very large file sizes. Note, that every time the image is edited and saved, no file degradation or loss of data as you edit and save will happen.
WHAT IF I WANT TO PRINT MY IMAGES? The difference in image quality between a JPEG and a TIFF greatly affects the manipulability of the image, it doesn’t translate to printing due to print machines unable to reproduce TIFF data. High quality JPEGs are perfect for photo prints. JPEG is compatible with many print softwares/apps/websites nowadays (and all technologies for that matter, from your Instagram posts to your online portfolio), but TIFFs are not.
