Won a tif file make a better print?
It could, but only if you’ve saved changes to your jpeg more than 10 or 12 times or saved it with a quality level of less than 10. Each time you save changes to a jpeg file, the file is re-compressed which slightly degrades image quality. If it’s compressed with a lower quality level, the loss of quality happens much more quickly. Our tests have shown the quality loss is imperceptible until the 10th or 12th time it is compressed, but only when saved at the maximum quality level. If you have a file that will require a lot of work, you should save it internally as a tif or psd and then save it as a jpeg only when it’s ready to send to the lab. Jpegs should always be saved at a quality level of 10 or 12.
