If you work on layers, use .PSD..if you do not use layers you can save as either...i do not use layers (i flatten layers - to keep file size down) and I save as TIFF..good luck! Richard Sintchak <rich815@...> wrote:either.

You can also save with layers in TIFF and use LZW compression for lossless. Mark

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. -- Ciao, Paul D. DeRocco Paul mailto:pderocco@...

I personally always save files unflattened as PSD. I tend to sometimes come back to what I thought was finished and give it another tweak. HD space is dirt cheap, use it. Of course anytime I send a file to someone, it's a TIF unless I know they are just going to view it on the monitor then it's a JPG.

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. Richard

I always run it as a PS plugin. -- Ciao, Paul D. DeRocco Paul mailto:pderocco@...

Apparently LZW decompression has to be paid for by software vendors. I heard, anyway.
