I have to respectfully disagree, LZW is notorious for actually making TIFF 
files BIGGER.

TIFF is a great choice for saving files that will be re-edited and you can
use compression with it as long as it's not lossy.  Use either LZW compression
or run length encoding and your tiff files will be much smaller with no
side effects.
