Tiff is lossless. If you use it in 16-bits it will prevent posterisation if you work the file heavily in photoshop. I usually take 8 bits as M8 files need very little manipulation and PSE5 does not support 16 bits fully. Then, when I am done I export in Jpeg (which IS lossy) to an online printing service for smaller prints, or for web use, or I write a TIFF CD to give to my professional printing lab, who will do printing profiling for large prints and print to my taste..
