> But if money is tight on this shoot, you have little choice but to shoot > JPEG. And for anyone who is really short on money - film is *MUCH* cheaper ;o) Seriously though ... my feelings are, "If you can't afford to do it right, do something else" The number of people that now shoot highly compressed / low res images because they can't afford the media (having spent a fortune on the camera to "save money") is incredible. By alll means save as raw - rather than have the camera save bloated tiffs - but if you wan't the best, do your best. If you must do jpeg, save it as absolutely the maximum quality your system allows and once in your computer do everything else in lossless Tiff format.
