My scanner defaults to .tiff for some reason if I scan from the button and it cannot be changed. Have to scan from gnome-document-scanner if I want different formats.
Back in the 90s, I was asked to critique a local business web site. I noticed a picture wasn’t loading correctly on Netscape Navigator when it was working fine on IE. Turned out, the designer had stuck in a 5MB BMP image. This when a whole lot of people were still on 56K modems.
bring back bmp and tiff formats
Ugh. I was so happy when jpg or gifs came Into common use. bmp and tif files took so long to load.

TIFF was invented for scanners and is lossless, out at least less lossy than jpg
Good to know, didn’t realize it was lossless! For me the format I usually need my scans in is pdf, but that is useful info!
