<<For example, I can store an 8x10, a 5x7 and a 6x4 equivalent & appropriately cropped jpeg in less space than a single 8x10 TIF (talking 300lpi here) so does the TIF really offer any benefit over the lossy format?>> Karl If you really have the finished, sharpened, product ready for printing I see nothing wrong with saving a jpeg at the maximum quality setting (PhotoShop). The file size is still quite big but a huge saving in disk space over TIFF. The advantage of TIFF is that you have not thrown anything away - should you later decide to adjust contrast, levels, sharpening etc. Heck, I thought you were an experimenter: surprised you have not tried or are you too busy mending darkrooms ;o) Bob Freeserve AnyTime - HALF PRICE for the first 3 months - Save £7.50 a month www.freeserve.com/anytime
