No, tiff (or Tagged Image File Format) isn't a compression type. A
tiff file can contain image data of many kinds, including uncompressed
images, JPEG encoded images, Lempel-Ziff-Wellman encoding, and CCITT
Group 4 FAX encoding.
You can use /usr/bin/tiffinfo -info to query the encoding in any given
tiff file on Mac OS X.
