- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Let`s say I have two photographs stored on a hard drive. One is a RAW file and one is a JPEG. With everything that I know, the following things seem true with iPhoto: - Upon import, iPhoto will make a copy of the RAW file - a JPEG copy - and this is what you are editing and working on in iPhoto. - Same for the JPEG photo - iPhoto will make a copy of it - a JPEG copy - and this is what you are editing and working on in iPhoto. - Each time I open these JPEGs and make changes, they lose a bit of quality, however small or noticeable? - iPhoto 2011 lets you save edits as 16-bit TIFFs. So after I import these two photos - should I immediately save them as TIFFs (untouched and unedited). And then go ahead and re-import them as TIFFs and make all the changes I wish. Or should I import them as iPhoto does, make the changes and then save them as TIFFs. I want to turn the JPEG into TIFF and the RAW files also to TIFF. But since I might not finish editing the images in one sitting, I don`t want to risk losing quality. Just looking for what the best method would be. |
