Quick, without googling it, what's the difference between a 16-bit PNG and a 16-bit TIFF?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has been faking it all these years

Apparently both are lossless but TIFF supports layers and RGB + CYMK, whereas PNG has no layers and only RGB.

I think PNG is compressed lossless quality, TIFF is just full quality

But if PNG is lossless, how is TIFF a more "full" quality?

The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format comes close to TIFF in quality and is ideal for complex images. ... Unlike JPEG, TIFF uses a lossless compression algorithm in order to preserve as much quality in the image.

Hey I said without googling it! And PNG is also lossless.

PNG is the sound your round makes when you hit the target. TIFF is the sound it makes when whizzes past and hits the dirt.
