TIFF files are MEGA HUGE. What makes them better than bitmap files?

It's just a bias of mine. I've been working with TIFF images for ages. A holdover from my days in working with SGML, I guess.

RAW is the way to go. It has all of the original info and you can do your post processing any time. If you don't like it or want something different re process it and generate new JPGs.

As soon as I bought my Canon Digital Rebel I figured that one and thought this RAW stuff is pretty cool!

Stuffit has been associated with Apple, I believe. I had to put the darned program on my computer to unzip (or unstuff?) a photograph my sister-in-law sent me, and it gave me endless troubles. Supposedly there was a free version, but it wouldn't let me download it separately, and it kept bugging me with begging messages and splash screens until I got rid of it.

They'll have to do better than that if they want to move into the world of Windows users.
