GIMP Image
The native project format of the GNU Image Manipulation Program.
XCF (eXperimental Computing Facility) is the native file format of the GIMP. Like Adobe's PSD, it stores all the editing data of an image project: layers, channels, paths, guides, selections, and text layers. It allows users to save their work-in-process and resume editing later non-destructively.
The format is a container for a hierarchy of image structures. Since GIMP 2.10 (2018), XCF supports high bit depth (up to 32-bit floating point) and zlib compression. Older versions were 8-bit only. Note that ImageMagick's support for XCF is often limited to flattening the image or extracting the composite preview.
Named after the XCF student group at UC Berkeley where GIMP was originally written.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
The venerable standard for print, scanning, and archival.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is one of the oldest and most robust image formats still in use. Created in 1986 by Aldus (later acquired by Adobe), it was designed to be a universal standard for desktop publishing and scanning. TIFF is a container format, meaning it can hold almost any kind of image data—compressed or uncompressed, RGB or CMYK, 8-bit or 32-bit. This flexibility makes it the go-to choice for the printing industry, professional photographers, and archivists who need a format that preserves maximum quality and metadata without the compatibility headaches of proprietary RAW files.
A TIFF file is built around 'tags' that describe the image data. This allows it to support a vast array of features, including multiple pages (used for faxes and document scans), multiple layers (like a PSD file), and various color spaces like Lab and CMYK that are essential for printing. TIFF supports multiple compression schemes. The most common are LZW (lossless) and ZIP (lossless), but it can also hold JPEG (lossy) data. Uncompressed TIFFs are standard for archival because they are future-proof and require no decoding algorithm that might become obsolete.
TIFF was the first format to bring high-resolution, grayscale, and later color images to the desktop publishing revolution of the late 80s. While JPEG took over the web and consumer photography, TIFF remained the king of the pre-press and scanning world. It hasn't changed much since Revision 6.0 in 1992, which is a testament to its robust design.
