Digital Image Sizing
I have been shooting in camera RAW and then saving images in Tiff. For the BetterPhoto classes, I have been resizing these images to the required 750x500 pixels. Does this then cause the image to lose information when I want to enlarge it and print at 5x7 or 8x10?

Yes, this is causing you to lose a lot of information. Why don't you resize down and "save as"? Then go back to the original Tiff for the prints you're wanting to make. In fact, when I resize an image down and I want to keep it the same name I put the letter Z in front of it so I'll know that it is a small size and it's easy to find since it's at the bottom of the list.

Thanks, Lori. I will start doing the "save as", but I wish I knew that sooner. This is my 3rd course, so I guess everything I submitted for assignments here has been ruined for printing.

Beverly,
Don't you still have the original Raw file? If so, you can go back and get your Tiff from that file ... may be a little extra work but well worth it.

Lori,
I do have the Raw files and I am planning to go back to all of those images and re-create the adjustments in PS and save them again as TIFFs. It will be a lot of extra work, but I'm glad I realized the problem now. Thanks so much for your responses.
