TIFF Files

Tagged Image File Format is a multi-platform format especially popular on the Macintosh and in desktop-publishing applications. TIFF is a good choice if you plan to send your output to a print service bureau or import the image into a page-layout program.

There are several classes of TIFF files, which vary in the color depth and color palette that they support.

When you render to a TIFF file from within 3DS MAX, you have the following file Setup options:

Monochrome: Creates an 8-bit grayscale image.

Color: Creates a 24-bit color image (no alpha channel).
