TIFF FILE FORMAT

Posted: 01-30-2004, 03:01 PM
Am interested in using the TIFF or (PSD- Adobe Photoshop
Elements) to achieve the best photo image quality.
I receive my photos from my camera in a JPEG format and
it is then stored in Photoshop Elements. I then edit my
photos by doing some of the following:
CROP - Quick Fix -- Enhance (Brightness, Contrast)--
Reduce Image size. etc. etc.

When do I change File Format from JPEG to TIFF?

Is it before editing or after, and is it necessary to
import my photos from Adobe Photoshop Elements to my hard
drive "C " ?

Save a Copy of the files in the format you want before editing.

I just went to the above website and seen that you can Use animations in Outlook e-mail. Can this be done in Outlook Express?

Yes. If you can do it on a web page you can do it in OE. You'll make enemies if you do that though.

Because t's
a/ annoying to the reader
b/ it makes large emails which means it takes longer to download, and one pays more for it.

1. If you select JPEG in your camera, you will gain absolutely nothing by
saving this file in TIFF after editing it. The damage is done in your
camera. A JPEG file is a compressed format, you will not gain anything by
saving this file in TIFF on your computer.
2. If you want TIFF, set your camera to save TIFF instead of JPEG. There is
a big price to pay for this. The TIFF file will be much larger and take a
lot more time to save on your memory card. Will you see the difference? I
doubt it. Set your camera on a tripod and take the same pictures using JPEG
and TIFF. Then print. Can you see a difference? I can't, unless you want a
very large print (larger than 8 x 10 and with a camera having at least 3 MP
resolution)
3. You are using Photoshop Elements. Very good. When you edit your original
JPEG, save everything as PSD. When you finish editing save as JPEG. You now
have three files. Your original JPEG, a PSD file from editing your original
JPEG and a new JPEG file from saving the PSD file as JPEG.
4. Why should you keep these three files on your computer?
a) never delete your original file, you just don't know the new
improvements coming up. Save the original file on a CD.
b) the PSD file is an "intermediate file" containing all the editing
steps and you can go back to it to change your editing without deterioration
as would happen with a JPEG file.
c) when done with your editing a PSD file, you can then save it as a
JPEG file. Then delete the PSD file.

Advice from Yves iss very sound - however if you think you may want to go back to your shot for furtrher editing in the future, then save the PSD file to CD also. Elements is a very good software - full Photoshop is better, but very expensive.

Another option of you can handle it is to set your camera (if it will) to record in RAW. As the name suggests this records the raw digital information without any compression etc within the camera - leaving you to do all thge manipulation in Elements.

Also invest in Digital Photo magazine - it's a mine of information
