Am I missing something? Not sure if I understand you right - is this what you believe happens all the time when you open a RAW in ACR and send it to PS? Photoshop CS4 converts a Raw to a TIFF and then to a PSD when it is edited. Silver Image (3M views - Thank You!) says:

You can apply any Topaz filter in 8 or 16 bits JPG, TIFF, PSD (no LAB) but just keep in mind that more information you have, the better your process will render and mostly is you aply strong settings. So, when you open in photoshop (or your host application) doing it in 16 bit will kep much more information, even if you don't notice it, the info is there and when applying any filter you will have more information to play with, which will help you in banding and posterization issues.

The only way to apply any Topaz filter to the RAW is opening the RAW as a Smart Object and applying Topaz as a Smart Filter. I totally start with a RAW file and try to do as much as I can In ACR, then when transfer to photoshop, I do it in 16 bit.

I guess another point is the software and what may be compatible.DNG anyone? I guess the only fair way to make a realistic comparison is to play with the same file after using topaz on the same settings- jpeg/psd/raw/tiff. Am I missing something?Д«ig argument in the hdr community too because the raw converter in cs4 etc is better than the one in the hdr software(even photomatix/hdrsoft admit that.)Дoing an hdr in tiffs(3for instance) seems to come out better than one done in 3 raws. don't think I've ever used, saved, created a TIFF file yet that I know of (sad eh). psd for any future changes and also 'save for web and devices' for the smaller jpeg files for web/print use. Work on raw (cr2) file in Lightroom, open raw (cr2) file in Photoshop from Lightroom option, work on 16 bit file from Photoshop to Adjust via filters menu and plugin. You are always better off to use TIFF if final image quality is important and then convert to JPEG. TIFF compression is lossless which means that it retains original data unlike JPEGS that lose image quality each time it is edited. Starting with JPG might be fine as well, but be reminded, that every time you open and save a JPG again, you lose information. I always process and keep anything as PSD as a master file (even when this format isn't documented well and Adobe might change specs at any time) and convert to JPG if needed. I do have Photoshop Elements installed, so a test is in order here. That may be a limitation imposed by PaintShop Pro, not Topaz. I always have to convert to 8 bits before it will work. psd's are tiffs but to Adobe specifications and a smaller size generally!!) If, though, you are enhancing a portrait or similar for printing and you want best quality, then 16 bit and a psd file (I can't see the point of tiff!! myself, I understand that.

If it's for the web, then jpeg 8bits is good enough! I think it depends on your final outcome for the image.

I have Adjust, Simplify, and Denoise and am using the trial version of Detail (soon to buy) and love all of them. The question would come to bare, which Topaz software are you thinking about. Even on my 8gig core2 quad some pics take time to process. But thats just me.ДЄs to processing, it depends on the size of the photo. I have played with 8 and 16 bit TIF images, but my preference is usually JPEG. Matt Snider Photography edited this topic ages ago. Originally posted at 12:06PM, 5 September 2009 PDT So, I would only prefer to work with JPEGS if there truly is no difference with the end result compared to a TIFF. Also, some number of my photos wind up going up for sale on a. So, I want to know if using Topaz on TIFFs produces better results than working with jpegs.Д®DIT: I am mainly referring to Adjust, because that is the program I plan to purchase. My question is: when you edit your photos using Topaz software, do you work on a TIFF (and if you do, 8-bit or 16-bit?) or is working on a jpeg fine? I have been working from 16 bit TIFFs, which is time consuming due to load times/processing times. I'm thinking that the first program I'll buy will be Adjust. I'm new to Topaz software, and I'm loving the trials. First of all, I'm thrilled to find this group.
