Howdy,
I have just begun to appreciate the advantages of shooting in RAW format.
What I am curious about now is how to save the converted image. How much difference is thier between saving a converted image as a JPG or a TIFF (both saved at their highest details setting).
I tend to give my images on disk as a JPG to customers, but would they get better quality prints from a TIFF image?
cheers

Personally, I prefer to save my pictures as TIFFs after converting them with Bibble Pro. I think that not compressing them must keep a slightly better image quality. The problem with giving people TIFFs on a CD is that most places will not print straight from TIFFs and only from JPEGs.
This is my own opinion. Would be interested to know what everyone else thinks.

If you save at very high quality in JPG, there will be virtually no perceivable difference in a print from that vs. a TIF file. The gotcha with JPG is that if you repeatedly open, edit, and re-save the JPG, it will deteriorate a little bit each time, since it is re-compressed every time it is re-saved.
If you're giving customers an electronic file, give them a JPG unless they ask for a TIFF. If you find that you re-edit a lot, use TIF as your storage format, and save to JPG only when preparing the CD/DVD for the customer.

Does this make no real difference even with 16 bit tiffs?

Unless your customers are doing large posters with the files the difference isn't noticeable, even at 16 bits.

My workflow is like this:
Shoot Raw,
save as Tiff,
process, correct, crop, etc.
save as psd
save as jpg for distribution
Then you have the raw, an un-editided Tiff, an edited Photoshop file to make jpg's from.
Takes a bit of space though.
