RAW or TIFF?

Jim Mountford said:

I've never shot in TIFF, because the files are huge. Currently I
have enough room to do 20 raw shots on my microdrive, (empty drive
leaves me with 80) when I changed it to TIFF it went down to 7.
The RAW files are about 4.5mb, the TIFF files, would be around 13.5
or so.

I like to keep it simple. I shoot JPG or TIFF. I'm really not
interested in messing around with yet another program just to see
if I have a printable image or not. That's why I bought this
camera! It has EXCELLENT out of the camera ability.

RAW can be better, but you know ... I'm not going to spend time
with it. I think it's bad enough that I have to wait for the images
to load at all. It's a microdrive after all isnt' it? Act like one!

My answer is, the less work I spend changing lenses & processing
pictures, the more I'll be out taking them.

Less is more.

What are the best settings for the highest quality (without regard
for memory, time, etc.)? I am shooting the S2 currently with TIFF
and everything else normal. Can it get better with RAW or is it
just a waste of time to dump it into the software for conversion,
only to make a TIFF in the end?

Please tell us all how you are getting raw files in the S2 that are
only 4.5Mb?

Mine are all about 12.8Mb

Carl, I use the Epson 7600 which is the 24 inch printer. The ultrachrome ink and the Fuji S2 is a Great combination.
