RAW or TIFF? I thought RAW was the unprocessed output from the imaging
device and can't be read or used by anything else until the equivalent
of the in-camera firmware processing is done on a computer to convert it
to a standard graphics format. TIFF is a format that won't result in any
artifacts and requires no further processing in the computer before
being read/printed by standard graphics programs. JPEG results in loss
of image information, the amount depending on the level of compression.
TIFF is always lossless. Uncompressed, it carries all the original info
directly. The TIFF compression algorithm is also lossless, so the amount
of compression varies with the image details. I think I average about
25 ompression using it in Vuescan on my film scanner.
