Need a Photographer Who Supplies Tiffs

My photographer will be providing a hi-res disc. Search thumbtack for a photographer that would provide they files. You will def. find one

You can get high quality prints with jpegs. just be sure the dpi & size are high resolution.

its the same format all canvas wraps, posters and banners were printed from for the last 4 years of ComicCon i worked.

you can also change the file format yourself

I think most photographers are only going to supply .jpeg files. Not the raw files or other files types. You could try to find someone that will hit be prepared to pay extra.

Just curious why do you want the tiffs?

I've never heard of anyone having a problem with printing high res JPEGs. Maybe ask if they can send you some samples so you can judge the quality.

You don't need TIFF files to get quality high resolution prints. I print from JPG's and have won awards with some. Don't believe everything you hear on the internet. I'd wager very few photographers would provide them because of the size of the files and having to use HUGE flash drives to accommodate them. Tiff's are nice if working on them in layers, other than that....you won't know the difference, as long as you get 300 DPI and saved at full quality, native pixel dimensions and they're not resized.

Hi, Jay.

I'm a trained photographer who has worked with professional printers on behalf of clients, and I've only used Tiffs for print jobs. The photos that you see in magazines in book stores have all been printed from Tiffs.

I worked for a design firm here in Vegas and the banners on the buildings showcasing which artists are in town are printed from jpegs.

Glenn, if you're a trained photographer that works with TIFFS only, can you contact one of your fellow photographers to do the work for you?

I don't know what to tell you friend, we'll just agree to disagree. If you're a trained photographer, surely you are in the circle as others, perhaps one would oblige you. I've photographed weddings for fellow professional photographers and have never had that request.

I work for a photography compnay & we also only use JPEGS. I never have had any clients ask for TIFFS. All of our display prints are done in HI-RES JPEGS

I'm also a photographer (though not a wedding photographer, I stick to families/children). I have a 20x30 canvas hanging in my living room of one of my photos that was printed from a high-res JPEG. The only reason I can see for needing a TIFF is if edits need to be made to the file, because as has been pointed out, you have more freedom and flexibility. But I would assume your photographer is providing you with high res, edited JPEGs, so that is totally unnecessary, and I doubt you are going to find very many, if any, photographers that will provide those files.

I work in print marketing. We use jpegs.

My good friend is a wedding photographer, and when I asked him about this (our photog wasn't supplying them), he said it scares photographers because providing the raw file isn't representative of their work.

You hire them to get the best photo, which includes editing. Giving you the raw files negates that.

@glenn, I really don't think you know what you are talking about...

@Glenn...Trust Emmy. She loves cats so she knows everything.

Damn straight @mrsk

I like cat memes, too

All these ladies seem to know what they are talking about Glenn. I'm not a photog expert but if you are looking for a specific format so that you can do your own editing, your likely not to get it. I have a few friends who are photographers and Sunshine is right, they are signing up to deliver you a finished product. They treat their photos like copy-written property, representative of their talent, (like a piece of artwork) and dishing out raw unedited photos is just not part of the deal.

Some here have suggested that Tiffs aren't necessary. If I want to assign different color profiles to photos for use with different printing papers, I need Tiffs.

Here are different downloadable ICC profiles for various print stocks: http://www.adoramapix.com/app/products/prints#

If I were to try this with a Jpeg, I'd have to resave the file, and doing so would degrade the image.

Therefore, the only reason that a photographer wouldn't want to supply Tiffs is if he or she wants me to use his or her services only for prints.

You don't (typically) have permission to edit other photographers work, unless you are the graphic designer they hire. the are represented by the final product THEY create, not what you edit to your liking. if you want special treatment, contact a friend photographer and see if they will work with you.

the website you sent states (Max image file size 60MB, JPEG 8-bit sRGB basline (Standard), TIFF 8-bit sRGB, no compression) so you will be fine with the high resolution jpegs if you hire a photographer you like.

your last statement, as we have said, is incorrect, prints and LARGE format, can be done from JPEG. what you want TIFFS for are the EDIT them to your liking. that would have to be special permissions setup with your photographer, so again, contact a friend who works in your industry. that is not something "typical"

AndixLyn, I don't want Tiffs for editing.

Raw files are used for editing photos, as can be seen in the following literature:

I just want to use different color spaces for photos. Color spaces are detailed in the following

If I want to order prints from a professional print shop, I will need to assign a specific color space to a photo in order to get proper prints on the print stock of my choice. If I tried to assign a new color space to a Jpeg, I'd have to resave the file, which would degrade the photo.

And, I don't need special permission to get what I'm paying a photographer to supply.
