| I am going to do a project with an NPR reporter. Her field is sound recording. Now she wants to do a slide show with interviews. She wants me to give her the photos as Tiffs. But many of the pictures from my files never were Tiffs and now are high quality Jpegs. I can't see any rational to changing the files from Jpeg to Tiff. I suspect from our conversations that she doesn't know the first thing about digital photo files? Am I wrong? Should the photos be Tiffs for a sound slide show? |

It is possible that there are (still) some programs which can "place" a TIFF file but not a JPEG.
I would just batch-convert them all to TIFFs and don't worry about it* -- be happy they want your photos. If you save them with the LZW compression option enabled they should be about the same size on disk as best-quality JPEGs.
ETA: If you can go back to the edited images from which the JPEGs were derived and make TIFFs from them, that would be best. Otherwise, just convert the JPEGs.
*You don't want to get into a tiff with a radio reporter (sorry!).
Can you say which reporter is doing the story?

| Listen to Paul. It's not worth having the "Come to Jesus" talk with the reporter but you can know in your own mind that there is little advantage these days between TIFF and high-quality JPGs. |
