Okay. The exact process is: I take it to the hard disk, it makes the usual Olympus software procedure to moove the pictures to a hard disk, no matter in what format it was, and everything is just right when I use JPEG or RAW or how it calls on Olympus SQ and HQ. I can open TIFFs in any program, I use Painter 8, open, save (in TIFF) and then work in Photoshop... but, I'm affraid, I loose some quality in a way. What could become on Photoshop if it used to acsept my Olympus TIFFS before? I work mainly in TIFF now, no matter, in 2D or pfotography and my Photoshop never makes me a problem, exept of this one :-)
