TIFFlib is a free plugin that can be utilized by Photoshop to access and save TIFF files utilizing the libtiff library.
Are you tired of being limited by Photoshop's built-in TIFF file format? TIFFlib is a free plugin that expands Photoshop's capabilities with the libtiff library. With TIFFlib, users gain the ability to open and save TIFF files in various flavours and compression types beyond what is available in Photoshop's standard settings.
The plugin provides a means to open and save a wider range of TIFF formats, including both tiled and stripped options and any compression type supported by libtiff. Users can save files with G3/G4 Fax, LZW, JPEG, PackBits and AdobeDeflate (ZIP) compression types, depending on mode. While Photoshop opens all of these file types, it cannot save files in every format.
Please note that TIFFlib is not meant to completely replace Photoshop's built-in TIFF format. It does not save key metadata or layer information. However, for users who need more flexibility in their TIFF editing, TIFFlib is an excellent addition to their toolkit.
TIFFlib is easy to install. Simply move the TIFFlib_cs2.plugin file into the "File Formats" folder inside your Photoshop Plugins folder. Quit Photoshop and then relaunch the program. From there, you'll have access to a whole new set of TIFF editing tools.
In conclusion, if you're looking to take your Photoshop TIFF editing to the next level, give TIFFlib a try. With its expanded capabilities, you'll be able to work with a wider range of file types and compression options.
