		If you can print it, there's no harm in using TIFF except for file size. However it's rare to detect a difference between a TIFF and a JPEG saved a maximum quality. However, once you go below maximum quality, you risk image degredation, and if you have to do any editing (and subsequent re-save) of the JPEG you will suffer "generational loss" of quality.

 True, most print places (including DPC Prints) only take JPEGs, but some places do take TIFFs. Cantoo in Berkeley does, for example. |
