If you take pics in raw, what format is your "final" version in?

I was originally gonna export everything to JPEG for uploading and TIFF for storage, but TIFF seems to be very big (I'm getting file sizes of at least 10 megs on a 3008x2000 file).

Now I'm thinking of just using JPEG for both uploading and storage.

What do you use? And if you use JPEG, what "quality" number do you use?

i go to jpeg. i used whatever the default number is in photoshop.

Since I use Adobe Camera RAW and/or Lightroom, all of my development settings are stored in XMP files, and the automatically built JPEG previews in LR and Bridge reflect these settings. Only a few of my photos actually get taken into Photoshop, after which they may be stored as PSD, along with TIFF and JPEG versions if necessary.

i normally save everything as PSDs to preserve adjustment layers and such, i then save as Jpegs for say uploading to teh web and Tiffs sometimes depending on where they will be printed

i leave everything in raw for aperture. Anything that might hit photoshop stays in PSD JPEG@it's best setting for storage online as a "oh @#!%, it all hit the fan" and JPEG for print (I've never printed anything bigger than 8x10, so it works for me).

Is PSD going to show better quality then JPG?

I used to convert ALL of my RAW files to JPG after doing PP on the select files that passed my judgement. Now, I do not see the point in it. I leave all of my files in RAW format, and ONLY convert to JPEG if I'm wanting to print or upload to the web.

My Powershot A610 can only save JPEG file and when I am done with PhotoShop I usually make two copies of PSD and JPEG for re-edit again and final print out.

srgb jpeg for web, 16 bit adobe rgb tiff for print.
