I've noticed that Apple Cocoa apps store all their image resources in
TIFF format. I've been using PNG to reduce the time it will take users
to download my application, but I generally like to follow Apple
conventions.
Why does Apple use TIFF for their images? Maybe TIFFs are faster to
display because they're uncompressed?
As others have pointed out, TIFFs need not be compressed. And,
compression need not be lossy.
If resolution independence is important to you, you'll either need to
author high-DPI bitmapped images, or use vector-based PDF images.
