Description	🔵 At the dawn of fax technology, documents were transmitted across analog telephone lines as audio frequency signals. However, with the rise of digital wireless technology and the internet, sending and receiving faxes can now be done without the need for traditional telephone systems. This is where the importance of Group 3 FAX format comes into play. Group 3 FAX involves compressing TIFF images created from scanning documents. This compression helps significantly reduce file transmission time. While excessive compression beyond the standard 10:1 ratio may lead to a decrease in image quality, users have the option to adjust the balance to their preference while still maintaining the integrity of the transmitted images.
Technical details	🔵 Fax machines typically use Group 3 standards set by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). These machines operate at resolutions of 203 x 98 dpi for standard quality and 203 x 196 dpi for fine quality. They employ encoding techniques like Modified Huffman (MH) or Modified Read (MR) to compress data, which reduces transmission time. Transmission speeds range from 2400 bps to 33600 bps, depending on the phone line quality and the machine capabilities. Although faxing uses analog signals, digital faxing has become common, converting documents into digital files and sending them over the internet. Despite the rise of digital communication, faxing remains widely used due to its simplicity and the legal acceptance of faxed documents.

Description	🔵 .tiff (Tagged Image File Format) The .tiff format is a flexible and adaptable file format for handling images and data within a single file, through the use of tags. TIFF files can handle multiple images and data in a single file through the use of tags. It's widely supported by image-manipulation applications, publishing and page layout applications, scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition, and other applications. TIFF can be used for storing high-quality, high-resolution images and is often used in professional environments like publishing and photography.
Technical details	🔵 The .tiff format, or Tagged Image File Format, is widely used for raster graphics. Here are some key technical details about it: - Versatility: Supports various color formats, both lossless and lossy compression. - Compression: Commonly uses lossless LZW compression. - Multiplicity: Can store multiple images in one file, useful for scanned documents or graphic layers. - Color Depth: Offers a wide range of color depths, from 1-bit to 32-bit. - Metadata: Stores extensive metadata, including image details and editing history. - Alpha Channels: Supports transparency through alpha channels. - Color Management: Allows for ICC profile inclusion, ensuring color accuracy. - No Size Limit: Suitable for high-resolution images with no file size limit. - Extensibility: Highly extensible with tags for various data types. - HDR Support: Stores high dynamic range (HDR) images. - Geospatial Use: Popular in geospatial applications for storing location data. - Scanning: Preferred for high-quality scanned images in professional settings. - Compatibility: Widely supported but less web-friendly due to large file size. The .tiff format is highly valued for its quality and versatility, especially in photography, publishing, and archiving. However, its large file size may limit its use in storage or bandwidth-sensitive contexts.
