Why is WHAT??? You need to Trim the posting more precisely... If you mean "why TIFF?": Since TIFF provides no-artefacts storage at the same size as what you got from your JPEG (which WILL create artefacts). Why 8-bit? I already discussed that; and since your input is 8-bit, most probably you won't get any advantage from 16-bit. (Well, currently GIMP won't even produce 16-bit...) Why compressed? To save size...
