Use uncompressed TIFs to speed iPhoto
Authored by: gpl on May 15, '03 12:08:12PM

Tiff compression is generally lossless (LZW, ZIP or CCIT), contrary to JPEG ones. Some TIFFs use JPEG-like compression but I didn't see one yet. So, it's better to check the TIFF files with GraphicConverter, e.g., to test their compression scheme.

JPEG is always lossy.
