Abstract

   This document describes the TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
   representation of image data specified by the ITU-T Recommendations
   for black-and-white and color facsimile. This file format
   specification is commonly known as TIFF-FX. It formally defines
   minimal, extended and lossless JBIG modes (Profiles S, F, J) for
   black-and-white fax, and base JPEG, lossless JBIG and Mixed Raster
   Content modes (Profiles C, L, M) for color and grayscale fax. These
   modes or profiles correspond to the content of the applicable ITU-T
   Recommendations. Files formatted according to this specification use
   the image/tiff MIME Content Type.
