What about the Noritsu scanner? But, the JPEG scans have much more manageable file sizes. Download the original scan files here. Above image courtesy of Silver and Sage Studio.
If you need to do some light editing on your scans, save a master copy of your image in TIFF format to maintain image quality as you go through the post-production process. TIFFs have a history rooted in desktop publishing and commercial printing. Start Your Print Order Online. Posted in All Film Print.
Home Blog Blog Post. Anyway, I take questions from viewers during the live Webinar and one of them sent us down a bit of a rabbit hole, and surprisingly it was about file formats, and in particular, should they save their files in TIFF format for maximum quality?
PSD format because supported by about every application on earth. PSD format yes, even Lightroom lets you save your images in. Mostly JPEG, but otherwise,. I need to save in Tiff.
I have LR 6. Does LR work on the new MacBook? Of course … not. It worked once. But that was it. Since then it flashes but refuses to open. The only thing I can think of is to export as many of my processed images in Tiff from the old MacBook and resave them onto the new one so that I can re-edit if I want to. Thanks Adobe. Is this a troll thread? The formats are highly susceptible to loss over time. They may be a good working format for some particular program, but they provide low security to someone wanting to be able to keep and access their own images in future.
Not true! Many editing and publishing programs support PSD format. Adobe Bridge has very iffy support for the many different TIFF variants, and frequently croaks on them. So what?
Probably why Adobe bought Aldus. So, no more 2GB limit. No no no no no. Just no. Never ever ever give sweeping generalisations as advice. Hi Scott, the mistake you have just made is like putting petrol on a fire instead of water!! Always check what you send out before pushing the button. TIFs have a 4 gig limit. People really get fired up about this topic it seems. PSD only works in Adobe applications. Good luck printing on your pink t-shirts Kelby! What a pile of misleading information is this article.
Scott Kelby, I used to have more respect for you. But with these articles you do a disservice to our community, especially those just starting out. TIFF is an independent format. PSD is a proprietary format. I shall stick with TIFF, thank you very much!
You can add Ken Rockwell to the list of knowledgeable photographers giving bad advice. He shoots in jpeg only and that is what advocates. Really disappointing to see people like Scott and Ken misleading people, especially misleading new photographers, who are trying to get information on best practices and techniques.
DNG contains all the instructions and ensures the full capability of the output is utilised or is calibrated at the output end. DNG is great if you want the end user to make all the post-processing decisions for you. Most photographers prefer to court and density, cropping, burning, dodging, spot removal, filtering and other treatments and enhancements themselves and save them in the resulting file, be it psd, tif, jpg, png etc.
How whatever app the second user interprets it, it up to that app. I personally write all that stuff to. Reading all the replies almost i have come to realize to share files in tiff format that is lossless over jpg as most of the ppl dont have photoshop installed on their system and i would want to preserve details of my hi res retouched photos. I save my tiff in lzw compression for smaller size without losing details. Not that i am rebutting your claims, but i always render my image sequence frames from autodesk maya and max for animation.
Amount of change can be controlled but not its location which is always around sharp colour changes JPEG is primarily an RGB format If you saved and opened the same image several times, you may end up with an unusable image.
Quality of the image should stay fine only if you'll use the same software with each save, always use same compression level and maybe just make some local image changes a tiny portion of the image would get changed.
In all other cases image quality will degrade. But : Photographic image material is especially well suited for JPEG format, because it contains lots of different colours and nuances. Since JPEG's compression changes these things they become rather invisible in the image.
That's why the most prominent parts with JPEG artefacts are very sharp contrast changes as shown in the below image example. Nothing would change in terms of image data. Saving If you want your images to stay as true to original as possible I'd rather go with TIFF format with compression because I can later open it, manipulate it, etc. Improve this answer.

And that's my workflow. That's usually easier for print shops not to deal with clients that don't know anything about colour spaces and file formats. TIFFs are not.
It also depends what you mean by printing. Is it just getting your photos or is it digital offset printing or is it maybe press printing.
Each of them requires different things. You could also compress your backup folder on the system level ans save your RAWs in it. Such folders are usually displayed in blue colour in Windows Explorer. This way my TIFFs would be uncompressed but would take similar disk space as if they were compressed.
The answer doesn't mention the important aspect of chroma subsampling. They are basically lossless. Show 1 more comment. It may be worth checking with your print company to see what they recommend. All the quality is not worth the hassle if your company expects a different format. Your sample link didn't work for me. And is the damage you see in JPEG caused by artifacts, or is it just due to being an 8-bit format? So how did you solve that issue?
