great stuff. I always shoot RAW then edit that RAW file and save it as a high quality jpeg for print. reading some stuff online about RAW to Print had me wondering.

There is no point to saving a file as a jpeg for your own printing. Jpeg is a lossy compression format. If you have to save it, then do so as a 16 bit TIFF, but otherwise print without the intermediate file.

You might want a jpeg for uploading if you are outsourcing the printing.

Exactly! I couldn't have put it better. Novices must learn to forget about jpgs. They serve little purpose except for emailing and FBook
