Someone had a Nikon digital at a function I attended yesterday. Very
nice and all, I notice it had a "Raw" format as well as "Tiff". What is
the advantage of Raw over Tiff? (I know two disadvantages, not all
computers can read Raw but most can read Tiff. And Raw is even bigger in
file size to Tiff.)
If you want the in camera software to do the processing for you, use TIFF. If you want to be in
control of the entire process, use RAW.
In my camera (not Nikon) , TIFF files are far larger than RAW.
