i think my windows programs are quite happy to open tiffs. i have received a number of pdfs that idiots create with word(?) i think, send them to me, then ask me to edit them. in the first place, it is a bastard form of pdf, and not happy to open. second place, i am not too good with distiller(yes i have it, does not everyone?), so i do not try to edit them.
i do not know what the standards are, and how they are set up, but a lot of pdfs do not conform to adobe, and will not open. tifs will open in windows photo gallery and can be edited. they are transparent to the user. user probably does not know he is opening tif instead of gif or jpg. my understanding is that tif is one of the more efficient methods of file compression for pics. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
