jmoore: that's interesting as I have photoshop 5 and 5.5 on both my PC and my MAC and I can use both forms of tif (PC and Mac) on both machines with no problems. I can also open the tif's in poser 4 on both the Mac and the PC. The tif's open in every graphic app I have. photoshop 5 does have a 1-10 scale. 5.5 has a full blown 1-100% scale for both jpg and gif (it's the only app out there at present that can make lossy gifs). To transfer files between the two I write them to a CD-RW in ISO 9660 format (I have CD-RW drives on both machines). On the perfect pitch question... No. I do work in a graphic design shop so I consider proper color to be important. What I see on the jpg's is banding. Where there are solid lines that mark off where it transitions from one color to another. On many of them it's as pronounced as the color line where the bottom green bar meets the right vertical green bar on the bottom of pages here on renderosity. Oh and would I download a 2-3 mb zipped tif? I already download character files of that size. So yes. I'd tolerate the extra wait for the quality improvement. The big issue is getting web space on servers to store those files.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
