I have been saving at JPG 12 quality because my printer needs JPGs. I just checked though and there is no savings in size.

The original question was JPG verses TIF. A full frame uncompressed TIF file from a six MP digicam is about 18 meg. A JPG of the same file saved at adobe "12" setting will be between 2 and 3 meg, depending on the image detail. Six times as many JPG files as TIFs will fit on a CD. A six to one ratio JPG is indistinguishable from a TIF. To say there is no saving in size is nonsense.
