RAW format if you can, otherwise TIFF without any compression.

Sorry, I have to jump in here, Rand. Your advice to Jody re: JPEG is on the mark in order to save space on her cards....HOWEVER, never, and I mean NEVER shoot a wedding or anything professional as a JPEG. Everytime you open a JPEG document you compromise the image, thus lose more and more each time you open it, manipulate it, close it, print it, etc. Soon you end up with an image that is for crud. Please learn from my mistake. I am brand new to digital. We shot it as JPEG, downloaded it to the laptop, digitized it, closed it, opened it up, admired it, closed it, tweaked it a little more, admired it more, decided to burn it to a cd, and print it. NEVER AGAIN. I would strongly suggest using JPEG only for images that will be viewed on a computer monitor. Your prints will suck. :) If you want further details of that disaster, feel free to e-mail me privately. Robert has given you the best advice! P.S. NEVER drop the card....or god-forbid, the microdrive! Cheers! Colette cmm@wi.rr.com
