Hi guys. I'm very new to photo editing software in general, not just paint.net. I have a question regarding the TIFF format.
I have a scanned photo in the TIFF format that is about 102MB in size. However when I simply open the photo in paint.net and save it again (without any editing) as a TIFF file, the size decreases to 57.8MB. I'm not quite sure why this is happening. I was always under the impression that the TIFF format is lossless, and so, if I were to save the exact same image without any editing, shouldn't the file size remain the same? Thank you in advance.
