sorry to interupt as i had ask an question regarding transfer picture to cdrw and send to photo lab for printing will it affect the quality but from most of the answer i got from here were it will not. But from what you had written it will affect the quality once you open and save so which is which a bit confuse lah. Still very new in digital photography please enlighten me, thank you.hazmee said:Application wise: JPEG would be faster to process, store and emailed over mainly because of their compressed state. Please note that the JPEG file will loose its quality every time its opened and saved. I used lots of JPEGs for the magazine I am doing and its fine. Nowadays, photo-editing softwares are good at handling JPEGs. I would prefer processing JPEG than TIFF if I there's time constraint.
A TIFF file is generally good for archiving if you want to preserve the highest quality. Normally stock photo agency will store them in TIFF format.
For everyday work or play, unless you're doing large prints most of time, JPEGs are fine. Hope that helps. Cheers!

judeseah said:u only make it worse if u open,
and save over itself under jpeg again.
if just open without saving,
or cut and paste to cd,
no loss.
try this,
open a pic while noting its file size.
use 'save as' and over itself.
repeat, say 10 times.
even if u had used the best quality of compression,
u will still find that the file size grew.
but honestly,
so what?
those artifacts introduced might only be seen at 100%,
n most probably not shows up under 4R prints.
go take photos n enjoy,
don't be bother by all this.
u will learn more as u shoot.

LittleWolf said:JPEG refers to a family of image data compression methods, TIFF is a file format that allows to store images in a variety of ways. In particular, TIFF files can use JPEG compression to store images. There is therefore no meaningful answer to your question.
erizai said:IIRC, Tiff can only have LZW compression but not jpg. correct me if I were wrong.
In fact Tiff format is really different from jpg.
Compression types include
* raw uncompressed,
* PackBits
* Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW)
* CCITT Fax 3 & 4
* JPEG (see below)

But I couldn't find any jpg compression at tiff format saving in Photoshop, what about?:what:
G-man said:You should always save a copy of your image as a TIFF file and work on it the moment you open your JPG image for the first time. TIFF is a lossless format.
EiRiK said:hhmm... that means 1st i "save as" my jpg to tiff. then continue to do PS work on the tiff image from then on?
