Saving a jpeg as a tiff won't gain you any information, all of the informatin as already been lost in the original conversion from raw to jpeg. You probably want to set your camera to store either raw, or raw+jpeg. I prefer to store my raw files in dng format rather than pef on the assumption that future processing software will support dng and may not support pef. At one point, I was doing my initial backup in pef, and converting to dng during my import to lightroom so that I'd have copies of both file formats, but that was excessive, even for me. If you are ambitious, you could set your camera to raw+jpeg and compare the results of processing the same photo in both formats. Under ideal conditions, where you do minimum adjustments, the differences would likely be minimal, it tends to be in cases of poor lighting, when you need to pull details out of the shadows or make significant changes to color balance that the information loss is most notable. With hard drives running at less than $50/Terabyte saving photos in poor light is far more important to me than saving hard drive space. >J >Sent from my iPhone > >> On Apr 27, 2018, at 8:14 AM, Bill <[email protected]> >wrote: >> >>> On 4/27/2018 9:09 AM, Jack Davis wrote: >>> Anyone, >>> Am not seeing a RAW converter when downloading recent TIFF images >from the organizer.
