Sorry to hijack the thread but Lewis, why can FITS be stretched further than TIFFs? I have seen lots of claims like that but no real explanation anywhere.
Apart from the FITS header which contains the capture information, neither format uses lossy compression and, if saved with the same bit depth, should contain identical information.
