Tiff? That is a format I haven't heard in a long time. edit: to everyone replying. TIFF is awful. We have lossless compression now (read PNG) which is at least a billion times better. We shouldn't use it for anything in this day and age. Hell, just DEFLATE your TIFF and call it a new format. It will be better than TIFF
because @libtiff is already taken on Github, I think libtiff.gitlab.io is okay enough
It doesn't seem to be actively used in the past few years, though; isn't there a process one can use to claim unused github user / org names? Might be worth talking to GitHub staff about...

NO. That is an old, hijacked domain. Read the story on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibTIFF .
Oh, very annoying that remotesensing.org links to libtiff.org then!
The code is now being hosted at http://www.simplesystems.org/libtiff/ with a mirror site at http://libtiff.maptools.org/ .
There is also a github mirror at https://github.com/vadz/libtiff .

Nor clipping paths.
For print, there is not really an "open" alternative that is as good as TIFF.

I won't use github for my own projects because I don't agree with their politics. (If you're ok with them, good for you. I won't stop you.) Mandating github for everybody is a Bad Idea.
What do you disagree with? I am receptive to this kind of argument, I am honestly curious for specifics.

I don't know of any other application-independent image format with good support for layers. Seriously. (Even Tiff doesn't really have good support for layers.) .PSD is tightly tied to Photoshop's internals, and .xcf is tightly tied to Gimp's internals. (The Gimp core developers explicitly recommend against using .xcf as an interchange format, even though the format has a fairly complete publicly available spec.) I'v…
What happened with the OpenRaster format?
Unfortunately, it looks like there's no support for it in Photoshop, and I doubt that's likely to change.
