Features & Benefits

Data Formats
As well as the formats supported by the standard TIFF plug-in, Lightning TIFF also supports tiled, single-file CMYK + Spot color and single-file frameinterleaved TIFF.

Compression Formats
As well as the formats supported by the standard TIFF plug-in, Lightning TIFF supports both CCITT Bilevel Fax Group 3 1D and 2D.

Conventional and (extended) Template Based Naming
In addition to the options provided by the standard TIFF plug-in, Lightning TIFF provides additional options for conventional based naming (the ability to place all output from a given job into its own folder and the ability to use the file name instead of the job name) and an extended set of template variables for template based naming.

High Performance Compression
At the heart of Lightning TIFF are a wide range of unique and highly optimised high performance algorithms for implementing the standard compression methods required by all high-end workflows. These along with the multi-threading capabilities make Lightning TIFF the output plug-in of choice for the most demanding users and applications.

Multi-Threading
Taking advantage of the latest multi-core CPUs, Lightning TIFF is multi-threaded so as to provide maximum performance on today’s hardware. This offers the highest performance possible, for last minute production of time critical jobs.

Advanced File and Job Scripting
In addition to per file (separation) post-processing, Lightning TIFF also provides per (end of) job post-processing. This combined with the ability to place all output from a job into its own unique folder allows for sophisticated customisation by writing post-process scripts to perform additional tasks.
