The answer is False: File types like TIF and PNG are compressed to have smaller file sizes, and when opened, the files are uncompressed and display all their original data.

Explanation:

  • TIF (or TIFF) files can be either compressed or uncompressed. When they are compressed, they often use lossless compression methods, meaning no data is lost, and the original data can be fully restored when the file is opened.
  • PNG files use lossless compression, which means that the file size is reduced without any loss of data. When a PNG file is opened, it displays all its original data without any loss in quality.

However, the statement as written is not entirely accurate because it implies that all TIF files are compressed, which is not necessarily true. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
