STANDARD
Print & Scan Common Uses
| File Name | Specs | Size | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| print_model_cmyk.tiff Print Ready |
CMYK Color Space. High DPI (300). Used for magazine printing. | 10 MB | Download |
| scan_compressed_lzw.tiff Lossless Compression |
Uses LZW algorithm. Smaller size but requires decoding power. | 2 MB | Download |
| raw_uncompressed.tiff Maximum Quality |
No compression. Huge file size. The archival standard. | 25 MB | Download |
QA / MULTI-PAGE
Layers & High Bit Depth
| Test Case | Description | Size | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-page Document (3 Pages) | Contains 3 scanned images in 1 file. Tests if your viewer provides pagination controls. | 5 MB | Download |
| 16-bit Deep Color | Trillions of colors (vs Millions for JPG). Used in medical imaging (X-Ray) and astronomy. | 15 MB | Download |
| Broken IFD Tags | TIFF structure (Image File Directory) is corrupted. Tests error handling. | 500 KB | Download |
Technical Specs: TIFF
- Container: TIFF is a flexible container. It can hold JPG compressed data, LZW, ZIP, or raw pixels.
- Multi-page: Unlike other image formats, TIFF acts like a PDF for images. It allows creating digital “stacks” of documents.
- BigTIFF: Standard TIFF is limited to 4GB. Files larger than this use the “BigTIFF” variant (64-bit offsets).
How to view Multi-page TIFFs?
Standard image viewers often only show the first page. You need specific tools to see the whole document.
- Windows Photo Viewer: The legacy viewer (old style) handles multi-page TIFFs better than the modern “Photos” app.
- IrfanView: Extremely fast. Use the “Next Page” arrow/shortcut to flip through scanned TIFF documents.
- Adobe Photoshop: Required for professional editing of CMYK TIFFs used in printing.
Developer’s Corner: Split Pages
Browsers cannot display multi-page TIFFs. You must split them into individual PNGs using Python’s Pillow library.
from PIL import Image, ImageSequencewith Image.open(“scan.tiff”) as im:
for i, page in enumerate(ImageSequence.Iterator(im)):
page.save(f“page_{i}.png”)
