Convert TIF to PJPEG

TIF, short for Tagged Image File Format, is a flexible and adaptable file format that was introduced in the mid-1980s by Aldus Corporation, now Adobe Systems. Primarily used for storing high-quality raster graphics and images, TIF files are widely adopted in professional environments such as graphic design, medical imaging, and desktop publishing due to their support for lossless compression and extensive metadata capabilities. The format's longevity and adaptability have made it a staple in image archiving and complex image editing tasks, ensuring consistency and high resolution across various platforms and applications.

The PJPEG (Progressive JPEG) is a file extension for images that enhances the standard JPEG format by displaying images in successive waves of increasing detail, improving the user experience during slow network conditions. The JPEG stands for "Joint Photographic Experts Group", the organization that developed the standard in 1992. PJPEG is particularly useful for web applications, as it allows images to appear more quickly and progressively refine in quality, rather than loading from top to bottom like baseline JPEGs.
