I am trying to compress some black and white images that are TIFFs in Photoshp. Currently the only options I can find are LZW and JPEG compression.

What I would like to do is compress those TIFFs using CCITT Group 4 FAX compression. Retention of the quality of the image and size is very important. Is this possible inside of Photoshop? Is there an addon I can use with Photoshop to do this? If there isn’t is there a image converter that you would suggest? Or I am overlooking another option?

Thx in advance for any help you might be willing to give.

AFAIK, no, but there may be a plugin out there.

Why not save with LZW compression, it is also lossless.

Of course, if you were to accomplish this, then only people with the same plugin would be able to open the Tiffs in PS.

Are you TIFF files in bitmap mode?
