my understanding is that tif is one of the more efficient methods of file compression for pics.
According to <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIFF>, which also matches my memory, "Today, most TIFF images and readers remain based upon uncompressed 32-bit CMYK or 24-bit RGB images." The article goes on to say that the TIFF format does offer the option of lossless LZW compression, but this isn't necessarily better than other file compression methods. The GIF image format uses LZW, for example. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
