using TIFF, fine, or standard I'm pretty new to the digital world and would like to know if I can get "good enough" pics by using fine quality. The thing is my son has to give a power point presentation to his class of our trip to South Africa. I would like to get some poster size quality prints but don't want to limit what he can do for his class. I guess one answer would be to take two pictures using the different qualities but as you know the tiff feature takes up a lot of my memory. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance, tom

To get the best possible pictures I always use the fine setting. I also save my pics as tiffs because you don't lose image quality like you do when you save as jpegs.

You can keep the large files for the poster prints and then use a photo editing program to make them smaller for powerpoint. After making them smaller, save it as a different file so that you still have the large one & the small one. That'll leave the large files for the poster-sized prints & the small ones won't slow down your son's power-point presentation.

Large and Raw, and make sure the exposure is correct be reading a like color and get consecutive Over,under and Standard. Dont skimp on cards or get a media recorder

** This is an added question on this. When you save to .tiff, are you creating a copy of the original jpeg or do you just convert the whole file?

James, my Kodak only saves the images as JPEGS. I have my camera set to the highest pixel and the compression set to fine. The picture looks perfect when I download it to my computer. If I do any modifying to the picture, I then save the picture as a .tiff so I don't lose any image quality and the original remains unchanged.

Yes, my vote is for the highest possible resolution, and if necessary use a media recorder. The thing is it's only later that you realize that the shot is great and you'd like a large print of it (as I've learnt from my own experience ... and large interpolations don't produce great results!).
