I understand that post processing benefits from maximizing the information of the image prior to any manipulation (for example, using a large color space prior to doing color manipulations, using the most pixels prior to sharpening, etc). But what about printing?
I I have 500 meg tiff image, are there specific conditions that benefit when printing from this tiff rather than a jpeg?
For example, I am printing at 360 ppi. I would like my image to have this pixel density prior to printing to avoid scaling artifacts. So if the image, for example is 7200 x 3600 pixels it would print at 20 x 10 inches. Would jpeg compression artifacts be seen in the print?
Of course someone might say ' why bother to compress to jpeg if you already have the tiff'. Usually I wouldnt compress but I have some large panoramas (20 or so images) where the resulting panorama exceeds my available ram.
