Both formats, briefly
TIFFIN
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.
PCXOUT
PCX is a DOS era format, originally the native file of PC Paintbrush, and for years it was how images moved between early PC programs. It uses run length encoding, supports palettes up to 24 bit color, and is simple enough that a decoder fits in a page of code. Nothing new is written in PCX today. You run into it in old archives, scanner utilities and retro computing projects.
