Digital BW, The Print

I've been scanning images with Vuescan as compressed TIFF, 48-
bit RGB. If I open these in Pshop and do anything, then resave, 
they grow. This made me stop to take a look. If I save either as 
compressed or non- with TIFF in Pshop, they're bigger, and the 
compressed can be larger than non-compressed. I don't think 
Adobe must be using the full compression possibilites of the 
format. 

Very likely it is image dependent, and with high-detailed photos it 
is worse than those with smooth areas. 

I'd be happy to be proved wrong here, or shown a switch I haven't 
flipped.
