The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
The Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) is a flexible and adaptable image file format widely used in professional environments due to its ability to store high-quality images with rich detail. Developed by Aldus Corporation in 1986, TIFF files support various color spaces and compression methods, making them ideal for archival purposes, high-resolution scanning, and desktop publishing. Its versatility and robust metadata handling ensure that TIFF remains a staple in industries requiring precise image fidelity.
