Frequently Asked Questions

For print and archival delivery, yes. TIFF stores the decoded Canon image losslessly and opens in essentially every imaging application without a Canon-specific decoder, which a CR3 does not. For review copies over email, JPG is far more practical.

8-bit per channel. KoalaPic decodes Canon RAW to 8 bits, so the TIFF carries 16.7 million colours rather than the 14-bit depth held in the CR3. That suits print delivery; heavy tonal grading is better done from the CR3 in RAW software.

Roughly 130 MB LZW-compressed for a 45 MP frame, and about 70 MB for a 24 MP R6 Mark II frame. TIFF stores pixels losslessly, so photographic detail compresses only modestly.

Yes. Camera body, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and GPS coordinates are preserved by default, which is part of why TIFF works as a professional delivery format. Use the strip option before sending files outside your organisation.
