[QUOTE="Don Kondra, post: 305019, member: 17688"] Short answer - A raw file is actually compressed, a tiff is the uncompressed file. This can get as complicated as you want but the short version is... A raw file is just that, it contains all the information without any in camera processing and allows the most latitude (compared to jpeg) for making exposure, white balance, etc. adjustments. Typically you edit a raw and save as a jpeg. Now if you want or need to go back to the jpeg to do further processing each edit/save will degrade the image file. So that is when you save the raw file to tiff. It can be edited/saved many times with no loss of quality. Cheers, Don [/QUOTE]
