I am thinking about making my templates TIFF and PNG file types only... is there a reason why I shouldn't do away with the PSD files?
Are you, as PSE users, able to use TIFF layered templates?
and any other useful info I might need to know?
At this time, I am not doing page files or sbc files
I use pse and always use the tiff files!
But I think some customers prefer psd files, I wonder if every program supports tiff????
What is tiff? I always see it but I don't know what it is, I always use the psd files
Lisa, TIFFs open just like PSD files, I can't tell the difference in PSE or PS and I even like them better because they show the template image as folder instead of the PSD logo ANNND they are usually a smaller file size.
What she said! I use PSE 5.0 and use the TIFFS and trash the PSDs, so that works for me. What about GIMP users? Can they use TIFF or PNG?Quote:

I love Tiffs, too, for the reasons above.. you can see the preview and they are smaller file sizes!
Paint Shop Pro, as far as I know, doesn't open tiff files right.
Sarah, do you know what files they use? PSD? (paint shop pro)
also, Gimp was brought up..... I tried to open TIFF in Gimp, but it won't open as layers.
They can use psd with no issue.
ok, so this is a huge reason for me not to do away with psds! Thank you, Sarah, for that info
