Hello to all, and I hope you can help me, I am new to the realm of digital and have a question about files and cropping to print sizes. I shoot in RAW, and I'm trying to teach myself Lightroom for processing. I noticed that the images on my computer are longer and skinnier than film images that I'm...

As I understand it, the main advantage of tiff files is that they are uncompressed, and so each time they are copied, all of the information gets passed along and none of it gets lost or distorted. They are, however, huge, and outside of the publishing and photography industries they are not a common...

Hi there. I am new to ZF and just in the trial phase. I am wondering about whether it is best to use tiff or jpg files? All of my files have been shot in RAW mode so I need to process them anyway.

The RAW file is merely a digital version of a film negative that contains all the data recorded, as such, it isn't intended to be a display format. A RAW file rarely...

I agree with JKSeidel . I, personally, do the same by archiving RAW files to an external hard drive (DVD backups are too time consuming for me).

I am a Lightroom user myself, and I use the same workflow as yOOrek. I just save to JPEG before uploading to Zenfolio as the last step.
