People that say tiff is the most appropriate format for picture editing are not as right as they claim.
But transforming from JPG to something else has no relevancy as a first step of editing digital photography. The images downloaded from the camera might be a compressed JPG that will be stored on the hard drive. The image that is read by the virtual memory is uncompressed. Format issues can only arise after editing what you want and saving the final image. If the editing programs remains open, and you make a tiff save, the computer will use tiff compression methods to save a copy on the hard drive, but the original uncompressed image in still unchanged. Only the saved JPG has less information because of the compression, what is located in the computer’s memory is unchanged as long as you save the file under a new name.
It’s normal to make intermediary saves when changing a photo’s appearance because you never know what could go wrong. Make the intermediary saves in a digital photography format that stores high quality, maybe even uncompressed images , but also leaves the edited file intact, without flattening and closing layers. If by instance you are using Photoshop to make changes, then save the intermediary files as psd, witch is the typical Adobe Photoshop format. Failing to do this will return an intermediary save that acts just like another image. Only when you are done editing you can same the image in a conventional format like JPG for online photo sharing, TIFF for images that are meant to be printed at high resolutions and so on.
Some people believe that if you crop in any way an image you will lose quality. Cropping means that you can rotate, enlarge, resize the picture using certain algorithms that are known by your editing program. Some algorithms eliminate extra unnecessary pixels, and others will simply enlarge existing pixels. photo printing services
