I know a question this basic must have been answered somewhere but I'm obviously putting in the wrong search terms. When you've tinkered with a RAW image, is it best to save it as a TIF file?
Good advice!
...I'm also finding some things that are far better than I thought they were originally.
Funny how some of this stuff seems to ferment into a better wine on disk over time, eh?
You've loaded a camera-RAW image file into CS4 and edited it. Why not save it as a Photoshop PSD file? Unless you have to send the file to an outside print service, there's no reason to save it as a JPG. Print from CS4. The Adobe PSD file format is actually based on TIFF, plus it enables you to maintain your editing layers.
Tiff is the best, JPEG is OK if you aren't going to be opening the image up multiple times.
