So then if we convert a RAW file using the program that came
with the camera, convert it to JPG and send it along they still wont accept it
because it was not converted with PS?

That's not what I said. I said most of them do not use tiff files.

So your telling me if I where to convert a RAW file into a
TIFF, the publishers would know weather I had used PS or not?
I don't think so!

Hi Rick:
It's my understanding that it's not possible to save changes to a raw
file. The only way changes can be saved is to save them in jpeg or
some other format. The original raw file is essentially a negative (no,
it's not a reverse image) that must be developed in a program (the digital
equivalent of a darkroom) such as Photoshop before it's of any use. The
neat thing about a raw fil is that it ALWAYS retains ALL of the original
information intact. By the way, you should copy or move all of
your raw files either to CD or DVD then label and date the CD/DVD. In
other words you should archive them for future use. As I already
mentioned, Photoshop is the publishing/advertising industry standard.
That's the program everyone in the business uses. Thus an image made by
another program is of little use to them.

I use Photoshop Essentials, but I
usually convert from RAW using
RawShooter. It doesn't have all of the
tools Photoshop has, but I like
it's ability to batch convert, and I
like the fact that it doesn't do
anything to the original file by
default. I still sometimes use
Photoshop to tweak them afterwards,
crop, etc., but I start with
RawShooter.
