Advertisement Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Hi missouri, Take a look here In camera Tif images. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
01af Posted March 28, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2011 In-Camera TIFF images don't make any sense. Ten (or so) years ago, some digital cameras offered the option to store the frames in TIFF format ... modern cameras generally don't—a few exceptions may still exist but I am not aware of any. Either you want ready-to-use image files; then use in-camera JPEG format. Or you want the best image format that contains all the data the camera has captured; then use raw format.

Marquinius Posted March 28, 2011 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2011 Why would you want to do that, TIF? Either choose jpg (and let your camera do the work and be happy with it) or choose RAW (or CRW, DNG, whatever camera you have) and do the post processing yourself. And if you are now a little shy of RAW, but feel that later you might pick it up: choose both jpg and RAW (most modern cameras have that option). Just save the RAW's for later and use the jpg's now.

pico Posted March 28, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 28, 2011 For the non pro. in camera Tif images are the way to go? Looking for opinions, answers on the subject. Would be very apprecieted. DNG is very much like an extended TIFF. Use DNG and be happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
01af Posted March 28, 2011 Share #5 Posted March 28, 2011 DNG is very much like an extended TIFF. Use DNG and be happy. As a matter of fact, not only DNG but virtually all camera makers' proprietary raw formats are based on TIFF ... which by the way is owned by Adobe (they didn't invent TIFF but they bought it from the original inventor).

stunsworth Posted March 28, 2011 Share #6 Posted March 28, 2011 The very first digital camera I ever owned shot Tiffs as well as Jpegs. I could fit 1 Tiff image on the card I was using at the time. As others say, if the ultimate quality is important to you shoot raw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted March 28, 2011 Share #7 Posted March 28, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) DNG is an extension of the TIFF 6.0 format, and is compatible with the TIFF-EP standard . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
