I'm sorry. But JPEG 2000 is used by image archivists? A lossy format? What!?
Please cite your reasons for the statement below,
Walker (an image archivist)
Ps:
Also, vis a vis CS6 v CS5, it's just another freaking tool, but the best part about subscriptions is that you can use it without putting 1800 down for the master suite. Just 50 a month. Great for professionals who actually make money off it month in and month out. 50 bucks is chump change but 1800 is a big downpayment better put towards a printer or lens.
Best,

It would require some clever work to make a newer file format backward compatible yet allow for larger images. There is also the issue of all the third party extensions TIFF has received over the last two decades and keeping any new TIFF format compatible with them.
