Are TIFF Group 5 compression and LZW compression the same thing?

I've been working with TIFF files for a long time and I've never heard LZW compression referred to as TIFF GROUP 5. I've always called them simply LZW Compressed Tiffs.

The only "group" designation for compression are:
CCITT Group 3
CCITT Group 4

I think you may be confusing the TIFF format versions which now go up to 6.

More Info from the owner of the format (Adobe): Tiff Resources
