RAW vs Optimized JPEG Okay, I've got another question (yeah I can be seriously full of them sometimes.) RAW vs JPEG. This wedding I'm doing, I want to shoot RAW, convert to TIFF and then edit if necessary, in Photoshop, and then do my printing. I know that JPEG compresses more than TIFF (am I right on that) and I don't want to lose any more resolution than I absolutely have to. Soooo my burning question is: Am I on the right track? Shoot the wedding RAW, convert to TIFF, and edit. Most pro labs now can read and print from TIFF files, and if they compress less than JPEG, I would think they'd be better...of course, its a Nikon, so its NEF Raw, huge pain, but Pict. Project 1.6 is pretty nice, and coverts to TIFF and Optimized JPEG.... All advice is more than welcome, it only helps me grow!! Thanks!

I would say optimize in NEF then convert only when the printing service you are using gives you the specific size and format they want.

i agree with ryan...as far as picture project goes...it sucks in my opinion. I use Nikon Capture and it does 95% of all the editing I need to do. good luck Brock

I agree PIct. Project 1.5 sucked, but I upgraded, and now it does support TIFF which I prefer....JPEG, just loses too much in editing. I have heard that Capture 4 is well worth the 100 price tag, so perhaps I may get that.... I'm no huge fan of Photoshop...call me an idiot, but I just cannot figure that thing out!!!! LOL! I use it very sparingly, (what parts of it I actually DO know!!) Thanks!!!
