Re: [Digital BW] Tiff or Photoshop?

2004-09-01 by Richard Sintchak

If I remember correctly NeatImage cannot work on a TIFF file saved
with LZW.  And I also think QTR requires a non-compressed TIFF file as
well, no?

NI might have added that capability to a newer version, it certain
does not work on the version I have.

If you're saving for reloading into Photoshop later, as when you're part way
through a major edit, then use .psd. If you're saving something that's
finished, especially if you intend to send it to someone else who will open
it in something other than Photoshop, TIFF is a reasonable interchange
format, because it offers some compression options. But also remember that
not all compression options are supported by all programs. I've yet to see
anything that doesn't support LZW.
