The fields were defined primarily with desktop publishing and related applications in mind, although it is conceivable that other sorts of imaging applications may find TIFF to be useful. The general scenario for which TIFF was invented assumes that applications software for scanning or painting creates a TIFF file, which can then be read and incorporated into a document or publication by an application such as a desktop publishing package. The intent of TIFF is to organize and codify existing practice with respect to the definition and usage of desktop digital data, not to blaze new paths or promote unproven techniques. Yet a very high priority has been given to structuring the data in such a way as to minimize the pain of future additions. TIFF was designed to be a very extensible interchange format. TIFF is not a printer language or page description language, nor is it intended to be a general document interchange standard.
