i have the option to store my pics in either format, but TIFF seems to take up alot more space. if it's due to compression, will the compression cause significant loss of detail? as a gauge, 1 TIFF file is abt 12mb, 1 JPEG file is abt 1mb

while Jpeg is usually in 8bits....
The diff in bits render diff output size...

TIFF can be 8 or 16-bit per channel.

OK, that's for 48bit tiff. But the differences in file size are between tiff and jpg of similar colour depth are due to compression in jpg rather than colour precision.
Bluestrike's comment wasn't clear about that.;p

Actually, as far as printing goes, a JPEG-FINE file is as good as a TIFF. Colour Lab show me 2 prints, one made from a TIFF file, and another made from JPEG-FINE. The 2 are virtually indistinguishable. Both are 8x10s.

TRUST NO ONE! Sound like you are in Survival ehhh ...
It's just me, I believe more with what I do and with what I saw.
Having said that, it reminds me of something which I did with my psd file. I flattened all the layers and then saved the file as jpg at high quality (7). Immediately, I saw (on the monitor) a distinct loss in sharpness...

Try JPEG-10 or 12. Even then, you might not be able to see it in the actual print.....

JPEG 12 is larger than RAW
and about 16 bit tiffs... waste of time/space, mostly. might as well buy a digicam that can save RAW (eg: CP5000,5700)
Look carefully and you can easily make out the difference. Hint - Look for the jaggies and artefacts in the JPEG image. These are the prints on display on a small stand right?Originally posted by ckiang
