[QUOTE="frownsarefun, post: 1306211, member: 217296"] I don`t have Lightroom, Photoshop or Aperature - so iPhoto is what I am stuck with, like it or not. I have some photos - let`s say half are JPEGs and half are RAWs (in the beginning I was shooting JPEG, but switched and won`t go back now - I love RAW). They are all saved masters in HDDs. So I am not concerned about the originals. But I am concerned about JPEG vs. TIFF debate, so I want everything as a lossless file type, TIFF being the winner for me. I know that iPhoto makes a JPEG copy of the original file to work on. I also know when I export, I can export a 16-bit TIFF. No problem. But when I IMPORT my JPEGs and RAWs to iPhoto, should I do my edits (rotate, crop, color correction, etc) and then export as TIFF? OR Should I import my JPEGs and RAWs to iPhoto and immediately export as TIFF without making any changes or edits and then import the TIFFs back to iPhoto for editing? I am lost as to what process will give me the least amount of irreversible loss to the image quality. I had one guy on Apple Forums say that iPhoto is a lossless application, and all edits do not affect quality, even as JPEGs. I find this contrary to 99.9% of the photo world. [/QUOTE]
