My workflow is slightly different, and I typically save master as an 8-bit PNG (although I would prefer 16-bit if PS 7.0 could do it). Afterwards I adjust this master by resizing, final sharpening and gamma adjustments etc for the final presentation media (WEB or print). 16-bits would be better input for this final processing but tiff is just too huge. However, unlike those who shoot digital, I can always rescan the original and am therefore not so sensitive to the loss of information in 8-bit digital "master". Cheers, Leon
