There is no certification, but a standard - and that does not matter
anything. The TIFF format is a means of packaging "tagged" information (the
first T) inside a file. But the information is sometimes proprietary. In
Photoshop's case Photoshop is in many cases the only application that can
read all content of a PS TIFF file!


Wrong. That's why TIFF is a "standard". PhotoLine handles
multi-layer/document TIFF files just fine. As do many other applications.

Quit trying to make PhotoSlop out to be some legendary "holy grail" of
editors. Like those that keep their nose in one book, the bible, they make
themselves ignorant to what's already known by the rest of the world--long
before PhotoSlop even implemented (stole) it. E.g. PhotoLine was the first
program to incorporate HDR methods, the German to English translation
putting it on their menus as "Combine Images", three years before any
PhotoSlop users ever even heard of HDR techniques.

A layered PSD file has much better probability of getting opened properly
in the future than a layered TIFF file.



I done a test a while back just to see how my TIFF files opened in something
as bog standard the picture viewer that comes as standard with Windows. It
opened 400MB TIFF files, with smart object original, other additional
layers, adjustment layers, masks, smart filters, etc. perfectly. I tried it
with a PSD, and it wouldn't open.

Also, when I worked for a corporate, a huge amount of information was stored
in TIFF's and PDF's, so there is no way the TIFF file format will ever be
redundant.

In other words, I'll stick with TIFF.
