    Save scan in Tiff or Jpeg

    I am working with a colleague scanning some archive 10x8 inch photos. I have convinced him to scan inTIF at 600 dpi. The resulting TIF file is about 60 MB. We make a few retouches and then he wants to save it in JPG as it is then only 4MB. I know that there is something inherently wrong in doing this but he has opened the 2 resulting files, compared the pixels and sees no difference, and it is true seen like that, there is not much noticeable difference on the screen between the two.


    Any enlightenment please?

    Many thanks.

    I am not going to get to far into explanation here but if you are archiving and ever want to print..... Save as tiff or psd and backup.

      Save unfinish photo as Jpeg or Tiff
      by Gerald McClaren
      I would like to know if the picture you are restoring is a Jpeg and you restore part of the picture, do you save the unfinish photo as a Jpeg or Tiff.

      JPG or TIFF for retouching

      My image acquisition is through a Canon A630 that produces 'Fine' jpgs of approx. 2.4 megs. The same file, saved as a tiff, is 22megs.

      My manipulations tend to be a variety of simple image adjustment layers, color retouching and conversion...

      by kenwood
      Hi I have been saving to psd format to preserve layer information but the resulting file is too big (50-100mb each). Is there an alternative?

      I am new to Elements 5 and this forum so hope that someone can help please. If I open an RAW file (Nikon .NEF) everything works well until I want to save the finished result as a .jpg file. "Save as" gives me a list of extensions but not JPEG i.e. *.jpg. It does give me the option of JPEG...

      changing default save format from psd to jpeg
      by ebbtide
      Hi,
      Fixing up a bunch of Jpeg images and want to resave them in jpeg. Photoshop, of course, wants you to save them in psd by default. Is there a method so you don't have to go through all the key strokes to change from psd to jpeg for each image you save? Is there a method to permanently change...
