Just a very minor correction, to muddy the waters:

In contrast, TIFF uses non-lossy compression.

While in practice TIFF usually uses non-lossy compression, it *can* be
lossy. TIFF files can use a variety of compression schemes, one of
which is JPEG! Fortunately, lossy TIFF files are quite rare.

Some of you probably won't believe me, so here are a few references:

http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tiff/TIFF6.pdf
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tiff/TIFFphotoshop.pdf
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_formats
http://www.biij.org/2006/1/e6/e6.pdf

The last two URLs, by the way, are fairly good introductions to file
formats in general.
