An agency asking for only 55mb RGB TIFFs is also not doing itself any
favours. A 55mb RGB TIFF will reduce to a fraction of its size (about a
sixth) when converted to a full quality JPEG.

Request full quality JPEGs converted from 55mb RGB TIFFs, store JPEGs, send
JPEGs and let the purchaser convert to a TIFF if they need to work on it in
any way.

My tupence worth.

Dear Shangara

Do you have any experience of selling stock via digital delivery?

Resizing Jpegs is not considered a good idea because they are lossy. With 
digital stock delivery there will nearly always be one conversion from the 
55Mb Tiff to a jpeg of suitable size for transmission. I wouldn't dream of 
keeping my valuable drum scans as anything other than Tiffs.
