I was talking to some friends the other day about what format to use for saving files and I mentioned that I use TIFF format. Some of them were surprised and some confused. TIFF?! Why? You can’t save your layers in TIFF format one person said! Not true my friend! You can save your layers and more!

In this video I’ll show you the live demo of why I use TIFF format for saving my layered files instead of using PSD format. If you want to save more disk space (e.g. in many cases 1/2 your file size!!!!!) then this is for you. (more…)
