Digital camera & digital photography resources
for professional & amateur photographers

Hello everybody and thanks in advance for your help,

I’m new to photography, with a brand new Olympus E-500.

So the question is: What’s better for photo editing, RAW or TIFF?

I have a Sandisk Extreme III 2 Gb card, so there’s no capacity problem on using TIFF for most occasions, I guess…

I’ve seen ACDSee 8.0 doesn’t read Olympus RAW, that’s quite a problem for me, as I use that program very often.

Stick with the TIFF. As you're new to photography I don't think processing the RAW file is going to add much (if anything) to your end result.

As you get more experience then you can decide how you want to proceed and maybe ACDSee will process your RAW files at that time.

Post some pictures and get some advice from this site. For me, the image is more important than the process.
