Both formats, briefly
PPMIN
PPM is deliberately plain: a short text header followed by raw RGB values, with no compression and no structure to parse. That is what you want when you are writing image code yourself or piping frames between command line tools, because reading and writing it takes a few lines. It belongs to the Netpbm family, next to PGM for grayscale and PBM for pure black and white. The files are enormous, so convert before sending one anywhere.
TIFFOUT
TIFF is for images that are being kept rather than shipped. One file can hold high bit depth data, several color spaces, layers, alpha and multiple pages, stored compressed or completely uncompressed, along with detailed metadata. Print production, scanning services, archives and medical imaging standardized on it for those reasons. Expect large files, and convert to JPG or PNG when the picture actually has to travel.
