    tiffs in cmyk makes MEGA ULTRA GIGA heavy files, it's crazy

    • Then you've never used bitmap EPS or (shudder) Windows BMP. Save TIFFs with LZW or (better) ZIP encoding which drops 50% or more losslessly.evilpeacock
    • I have a Photoshop Droplet that automatically re-saves TIFFs I inherit from other designers as lossless zip. Worth it to make one for yourselves.evilpeacock
    • with layers and transparency - yes. reduced on background layer it's ok.mekk
    • TIFFs can also have alpha channels. It's the "other PNG" for that when you have non-RGB color modes.evilpeacock
