Hoi.<br>The one reason why we need TIFF documents is because museums and archives typically store their digitised material as TIFF. When we receive digitised material from a partnering organisation the best way to get it is as a TIFF. Usually we get them as JPG but when we have a relation like with the Tropenmuseum where we can request a super high resolution TIFF for restoration. It is important to have this picture as a TIFF on Commons because in that way we maintain a link with the original material. In this way we also prove that the restoration is a best effort practice to make historical material into something that retains its authenticity but is useful as an illustration.<br>
<br>Yes, 100MB is not big even for single paged documents. The biggest file we want to upload but cannot is over 600 Mb. Obviously they are a minority.<br>Thanks,<br> GerardM<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/9/12 Federico Leva (Nemo) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nemowiki@gmail.com">nemowiki@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

</div>Even with DjVu, the 100 MB limit is often too low: how can TIFF be<br>
useful with multi-paged huge documents?<br>
