While a brief scope and feature description is provided in this section as background information, the reader is directed to the original TIFF specification [TIFF] to obtain complete feature and technical details.
虽然本节提供了简要的范围和功能描述作为背景信息，但读者应参考原始TIFF规范[TIFF]，以获得完整的功能和技术细节。
TIFF describes image data that typically comes from scanners, frame grabbers, and paint- and photo-retouching programs. TIFF is not a printer language or page description language. The purpose of TIFF is to describe and store raster image data. A primary goal of TIFF is to provide a rich environment within which applications can exchange image data. This richness is required to take advantage of the varying capabilities of scanners and other imaging devices. Though TIFF is a rich format, it can easily be used for simple scanners and applications as well because the number of required fields is small.
TIFF描述的图像数据通常来自扫描仪、帧抓取器以及绘画和照片修饰程序。TIFF不是打印机语言或页面描述语言。TIFF的目的是描述和存储光栅图像数据。TIFF的主要目标是提供一个丰富的环境，应用程序可以在其中交换图像数据。这种丰富性是利用扫描仪和其他成像设备的不同功能所必需的。尽管TIFF是一种丰富的格式，但由于所需字段的数量很少，因此它也可以轻松地用于简单的扫描仪和应用程序。
Some of the features of TIFF (from [TIFF]) are:
TIFF的一些功能（来自[TIFF]）包括：
- TIFF is capable of describing bilevel, grayscale, palette-color, and full-color image data in several color spaces.
- TIFF能够在多个颜色空间中描述两层、灰度、调色板颜色和全色图像数据。
- TIFF includes a number of compression schemes that allow developers to choose the best space or time tradeoff for their applications.
- TIFF包括许多压缩方案，允许开发人员为其应用程序选择最佳的空间或时间权衡。
- TIFF is designed to be extensible and to evolve gracefully as new needs arise.
- TIFF设计为可扩展，并随着新需求的出现而优雅地发展。
- TIFF allows the inclusion of an unlimited amount of private or special-purpose information.
- TIFF允许包含无限量的私人或特殊用途信息。
The image/tiff content-type was previously defined in RFC 1528 as containing TIFF 6.0 encoded image data, with specific reference made to a subset known as TIFF Class F. This document re-defines the original image/tiff definition to refer to all of the profiles and extensions that build on TIFF 6.0 [TIFF] encoded image data, consistent with existing practice for TIFF aware Internet applications. This definition is further enhanced by introducing the new "application parameter" (section 3.2) to enable identification of a specific subset of TIFF and TIFF extensions for the encoded image data.
图像/tiff内容类型先前在RFC 1528中定义为包含tiff 6.0编码图像数据，具体参考了称为tiff类别F的子集。本文档重新定义了原始图像/tiff定义，以参考所有基于tiff 6.0[tiff]编码图像数据的配置文件和扩展，与支持TIFF的互联网应用程序的现有实践保持一致。通过引入新的“应用参数”（第3.2节）进一步增强了该定义，以识别编码图像数据的TIFF和TIFF扩展的特定子集。
There are cases where it may be useful to identify the application applicable to the content of an image/tiff body. Typically, this would be used to assist the recipient in dispatching a suitable rendering package to handle the display or processing of the image file. As a result, an optional "application" parameter is defined for image/tiff to identify a particular application's subset of TIFF and TIFF extensions for the encoded image data, if it is known. No values are defined in this document.
在某些情况下，识别适用于图像/tiff正文内容的应用程序可能是有用的。通常，这将用于帮助接收者分派适当的渲染包来处理图像文件的显示或处理。因此，为image/tiff定义了可选的“application”参数，以识别编码图像数据的特定应用程序的tiff和tiff扩展子集（如果已知）。本文档中未定义任何值。
Example using a fictional value 'foo':
使用虚构值“foo”的示例：
Content-type: image/tiff; application=foo
Content-type: image/tiff; application=foo
There is no default value for application, as the absence of the application parameter indicates that the encoded TIFF image is Baseline TIFF or that it is not necessary to identify the application. It is up to the recipient's implementation to determine the application (if necessary) and render the image to the user.
应用程序没有默认值，因为缺少应用程序参数表示编码的TIFF图像是基线TIFF，或者不需要识别应用程序。由接收者的实现来确定应用程序（如有必要）并将图像呈现给用户。

There is no format specified for the value of this parameter in addition to that specified by [MIME1]. Various applications of TIFF may define values as required. New values should be defined in standards track RFCs and the values should be registered with IANA, using the registration form included in Appendix A. There is no default value for application, as the absence of the application parameter indicates that the encoded TIFF image is Baseline TIFF or that it is not necessary to identify the application. It is up to the implementation to determine the application (if necessary) and render the image to the user.
除了[MIME1]指定的格式外，没有为此参数的值指定格式。TIFF的各种应用可根据需要定义值。应在标准跟踪RFC中定义新值，并应使用附录A中包含的登记表向IANA登记这些值。没有适用的默认值，因为缺少应用程序参数表示编码的TIFF图像是基线TIFF，或者不需要识别应用程序。由实现决定应用程序（如果需要）并向用户呈现图像。
Encoding considerations: Binary or Base-64 generally preferred
编码注意事项：通常首选二进制或Base-64
Security considerations:
安全考虑：
TIFF utilizes a structure which can store image data and attributes of this image data. The fields defined in the TIFF specification are of a descriptive nature and provide information that is useful to facilitate viewing and rendering of images by a recipient. As such, the fields currently defined in the TIFF specification do not in themselves create additional security risks, since the fields are not used to induce any particular behavior by the recipient application.
TIFF利用一种可以存储图像数据和该图像数据的属性的结构。TIFF规范中定义的字段具有描述性，并提供有助于收件人查看和呈现图像的信息。因此，TIFF规范中当前定义的字段本身不会产生额外的安全风险，因为这些字段不用于诱导接收方应用程序的任何特定行为。
TIFF has an extensible structure, so that it is theoretically possible that fields could be defined in the future which could be used to induce particular actions on the part of the recipient, thus presenting additional security risks, but this type of capability is not supported in the referenced TIFF specification. Indeed, the definition of fields which would include such processing instructions is inconsistent with the goals and spirit of the TIFF specification.
TIFF具有可扩展的结构，因此理论上可以在将来定义字段，这些字段可用于引导接收方的特定操作，从而带来额外的安全风险，但参考TIFF规范不支持这种类型的功能。事实上，包含此类处理指令的字段定义与TIFF规范的目标和精神不一致。
Interoperability considerations:
互操作性注意事项：
The ability of implementations to handle all the defined applications (or profiles within applications) of TIFF may not be ubiquitous. As a result, implementations may decode and attempt to display the encoded TIFF image data only to determine that the image cannot be rendered. The presence of the application parameter may aid in allowing this determination before dispatching for rendering. However, it
实现处理TIFF的所有已定义应用程序（或应用程序中的配置文件）的能力可能并不普遍。结果，实现可以解码并尝试仅显示编码的TIFF图像数据以确定图像不能被渲染。应用程序参数的存在可能有助于在调度渲染之前允许此确定。但是,
should be noted that the parameter value is not intended to convey levels of capabilities for a particular application.
应注意的是，参数值并非用于传达特定应用程序的功能级别。
