It's lossy in a similar sense that TIFF -> JPEG -> TIFF doesn't give you back exactly the same bytes, even though (modulo the compression level) the two TIFFs might be visually indistinguishable. You seem to have an issue with calling this "corruption", but to most of us, if you have a system where you don't get back *exactly the same data* that you put in, then the data has been corrupted. Now, please stop trolling this point, agree to disagree, and either contribute some code or be quiet and allow others to make progress. j.
