- Description
- The LSS16 file type is associated with the 16-bit version of the Lossless Simple Storage format, which is a type of data file used to store images in a lossless compression format. This means that when images are compressed to LSS16 files, there is no loss in image quality, allowing for exact reconstruction of the original image. It is designed to efficiently store graphical data, especially for applications where preserving the original image fidelity is crucial. The "16" in its name refers to the bit depth of the images it stores, indicating that it can support up to 16 bits per color channel, providing high color accuracy and detail.
- A TIF file is an image file saved in a high-quality graphics format. It is often used for storing images with many colors, typically digital photos, and includes support for layers and multiple pages.
