# Multipage TIFF images

The TIFF image format allows multiple images to be stored in the same TIFF file. This is typically used to store digitized pages of a multipage document such as a fax.

To integrate with some other applications, LightZone can save your edited photos as a two-page TIFF file:

- The first page is your edited photo along with the LightZone tool stack you created.
- The second page is your original, unedited photo to which the tool stack is applied.

Other applications that display multipage TIFF images show the first page by default. Therefore, the first page is like a full-sized preview of your edited photo. When the two-page TIFF file is reopened with LightZone, however, the tool stack is re-applied to your original photo on the second page and you can resume editing where you left off.

A disadvantage of two-page TIFF files is that they are, of course, twice as big. Therefore, they are recommended only when integrating with either Aperture or Lightroom.
