The Adobe DNG standard for raw camera images is based on TIFF as well. DNG is used in lots of places, including the raw capture support built into all modern iOS and Android smartphones.

I’ve been using both TIFF and DNG this very week in my work (https://filmlabapp.com), so I was happy to read this post and learn about Steve Carlsen aka Mr. TIFF, whose work we’re still building on 39 years later.

Not only DNG, but I think most (maybe all?) raw camera files are based on TIFF.

The top 3 (Canon, Sony, Nikon) are all based on TIFF, and that accounts for the majority of the market share. Search for "TIFF-based" here:

Not the .IA files from old Sinar digital backs! Those are based on DOOM PWADs (lol). But otherwise mostly yes this is true for nearly every other format as far as I am aware.
