That is for low noise files, high ISO files are even bigger. Yes, Photoshop 7, don't know about other versions. As 8 bit TIF I think they are 16 meg, as 16 bit TIF, they are 32 meg. I don't store many files like that. I find very rarely do I manipulate such a file. And the Photoshop file format is what I do save under when I do this. Let's not forget though that lossless compression can reduce TIF files somewhat, depending on the amount of detail, but it's not a big deal. Of course it would be lovely if I could save TIF files back into RAW format for archiving. And that's why I save all my stuff as RAW files, and why Capture One is so great, because it remembers all the manipulations you did to make a TIF and you can therefore easily make a new TIF exactly as you did before, cropping and all. I only save JPG for small preview files that are saved with my RAW FILES, and for my printer because he won't takeTIFS. A big problem with JPGs of course is they are only 8 bit files...
