[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 183004, member: 9240"] TIFF is not RAW, but is essentially the most complete set of uncompresed information you can store for an image. What I do are basic adjustments in RAW/Lightroom (same thing) and then, once I have that, send it to Photoshop where I invoke the Nik tools. You can do it directly from LR but you will either need to step through multiple TIFF files to track the changes, or make the changes destructively to each image. With Photoshop I invoke the Nik tools as new layers and save as a PSD file (Photoshop document) as these tend to be slightly smaller than TIFF. At times, if the edit is not clear, then I'll use Smart Layers (which means bigger files) as it will allow me to re-open the Nik tool with all settings intact. Otherwise it just has the edits applied as a new layer that I can manipulate using the normal bevy of layer tools in PS. When I'm done, I often stack the PSD file with the original RAW file in the Library module. [/QUOTE]
