| I use Lightroom so the raw files stayas raw (actually, when I remember I convert to DNG which takes less space), and all the changes made in LR are just stored as parameters in LR. If I have an image that I think I'm going to submit to the web, or print, if I think I want to do anything else to the image I'll run it through Silver Efx or Color Efx. Then I'll have a TIFF, which are huge, but I also don't create a lot of them. I guess there would be no good reason I couldnt convert to jpeg once I knew I was done with the image. |

I keep TIFF files because they are uncompressed, or can be compressed using the LZW algorith, which is "lossless" compression (100% of data is retained when the photo is later uncompressed) Older versions of programs (e.g. Photoshop) which save in JPEG can "throw away" some of the data in the compression process, although in later versions (which I don't have) the maximum-quality JPEG setting is also considered lossless. |
