Those of you who follow my project will have seen on Sunday I included a photo of my mother in laws Ducati chain.
I e-mailed it to the Ducati-uk website, not expecting anything and I have received an email saying they would like to include it in their artwork section and make it available as a print. *Falls down from shock*

They have asked that it is available as "ca. 90Mb tiff". file, it is currently just a JPEG is tiff just another format to save it as or do I have to do something different?

This is the picture if anyone is interested:

Wow, that is really awesome. Congrats!

Wow, congratulations. That is very big. It should be under the save as type drop down menu when you click save as (windows based). BTW Very cool picture!

Wow, congratulations! Wanting a 90MB file is pretty crazy though; I suspect what they ideally want is an uncompressed version of a RAW file directly out of a camera. I just tried saving a 15MP image as a .tif with various different options and could only get up to 45MB - so basically, they just want the biggest, tidiest, least compressed image you have.

Thank you for all your kind comments.

I have reformatted it to a tiff file although I can't make it to 90mb. I'll have to see if it is good enough for them.
Maybe I shouldn't have fretted so much when my little one broke my lens, it seems my little p&s really is able to hold its own!

congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done thats amazing.
Basically a jpeg is a compressed version of the file
A tif is a uncompressed picture with no data loss
RAW is the data the makes the image file.
You have a lot more flexibilty with RAW compared to a jpeg. I have rescued quite a few shots using the RAW file. A jpeg would of never allowed for such extreme colour adjustment for example

WOW, fantastic, can't help with the question but well done!
March 8th, 2011
