Hi, I have been a lurker and a learner here for some time. Thank you all.

Using PS 6.01 on Win XpPro

My question:

I make a complex, multi-layered image in PS. I flatten the image then save it “as” tiff. On Windows Explorer with “thumbnails” enabled, the image looks wrong. It is either a partial image or just a “ghost” of the real image. Now, if I first save it a bmp and then save that bmp image as a tiff, then, the thumbnail image in Explorer looks OK.

I understand that this is probably a Windows Explorer problem. My question: Does the image information change or degrade by first saving as 24 bit bmp and then converting to tiff.

Thanks

Ed
