Editing TIFF (section)

===MIME type===
The MIME type ''image/tiff'' (defined in RFC 3302) without an application parameter is used for Baseline TIFF 6.0 files or to indicate that it is not necessary to identify a specific subset of TIFF or TIFF extensions. The optional "application" parameter (Example: Content-type: image/tiff; application=foo) is defined for image/tiff to identify a particular subset of TIFF and TIFF extensions for the encoded image data, if it is known. According to RFC 3302, specific TIFF subsets or TIFF extensions used in the application parameter must be published as an RFC.<ref name="jdf" />

[[MIME]] type ''image/tiff-fx'' (defined in RFC 3949 and RFC 3950) is based on TIFF 6.0 with TIFF Technical Notes TTN1 (Trees) and TTN2 (Replacement TIFF/JPEG specification). It is used for [[Internet fax]] compatible with the ITU-T Recommendations for Group 3 black-and-white, grayscale and color [[fax]].
