I don't deal with digital art images very much, vast majority of my personal work is on film, that I scan as needed and yes they're just TIFFs as I still have the negative. Best way I've been able to explain to clients and what have you is that the RAW image is like saving the negative, where as a TIFF is like saving the print. I don't think it would be out of the question for a place like the Center for Creative Photography to do very high res scans of some well known pieces. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
