using jpeg compression.
I think the comment points to the fact that for images that are natural targets for the
JPEG compression method, tiled TIFF files may be better suited.
Take your average photograph: A rectangle (tile) of pixels in the middle of the sky,
the sea, the grass, a wall, etc. contains a lot of redundancy, given that all the pixels
are of very similar color.
A strip, covering the scene from the left end to the right one, will be less uniform.
JPEG works on the level of tiny 8x8 rectangles. I don't see that it makes much difference if the image oranization is in strips or tiled when JPEG is used. The TIFF organization is macroscopic compared to the JPEG organization.
