Description

Would it be possible to add tif(f) as an output format? It's a good general purpose format for lossy and lossless, alpha and non-alpha, and tagging, so I use it when png and jpg aren't suitable.

Research direction
The issue requests adding TIF/TIFF as an output format. To implement, examine how existing formats like PNG and JPG are handled in the codebase, likely in the conversion logic. Identify the image library used (e.g., System.Drawing or ImageSharp) and add a TIFF codec. Ensure support for lossy/lossless compression and alpha channels as mentioned. Update the UI to include the new format in the output dropdown.
