By Scott Kelby. January 15, By RC Concepcion. January 16, Very helpful! Thanks, Scott. If you don't know your TIFFs from your PNGs, then this video is for you, as Rudis explains the main differences between the many file formats that most photographers use day to day. One thing I especially liked in the video was the comparison table, which helps to visualize the difference between the file formats side by side.
I also liked the real-life demonstration where Rudis saves the same photo in several different formats to illustrate the major differences in file size. This part of the video will be particularly useful for those short on hard drive space.
One thing which was news to me was the difference between the layer compression options RLE and ZIP when it comes to TIFFs and how drastically different they can be in the file sizes they create. Which file format is best for you will boil down to many factors, such as future editing needs, desired image quality, and storage limitations you may have. By all means, ask other photographers what they do, but don't blindly follow them, as their methods may not be right for you.
Having a good workflow in place is less important for occasional photographers, but if you shoot regularly, then these decisions can have huge implications when you are juggling thousands of images.
Paul Parker is a commercial and fine art photographer. On the rare occasion he's not doing photography he loves being outdoors, people watching, and writing awkward "About Me" statements on websites Check out the Fstoppers Store for in-depth tutorials from some of the best instructors in the business. PSB all the way. That is how I do it as well. I think I ran across this a while back but never tried it out. It would be nice to have the added benefit of seeing previews in Finder.
No problem. Sometimes it has a few hickups but in general it works quite well. I don't use lightroom that often so for me it is quite helpful. Make final adjustments using Affinity Photo then export as jpg. Including the composite also makes the image much faster to load and use in applications other than Photoshop, and may sometimes be required to make the image readable in other applications.
If you do heavy editing and image compositions in Photoshop, don't be surprised when you find that TIFF will not keep your layer styles, smart layers or any of the hundreds of features Photoshop has. PSD files by default contain a composite image in them, so many simple apps can display a PSD file without decoding the complex format. While PSD is proprietary format, it is documented and a lot of competing products are using it.
TIFF is a container format. That is why a lot of simple apps read both formats easily. TIFF can contain a lot of different information, but that does not mean that it is easier for an app to read and compose it than a PSD file. I started saving all my layered files as tiffs. Unless you're importing into another adobe product and need to keep some of the editing capabilities in those programs, tiffs work great. You can save with a little jpg compression, get much smaller files and the layers, channels, even adjustment layers all remain intact with a tiff.
I would still store the RAW file, this is essentially your negative. Advances come out in Adobe's technology which might allow you to re-process and old RAW file and produce an image you're happier with recent improvements in noise reduction being an example.

As such, it can contain pretty much whatever you want to stuff inside of it if you use private tags. Layers are really just storing each photoshop layer as a separate image subfile.
Each subfile may be of a different type, depending on the image contents.
