    Is there any loss when converting from BMP to TIFF or the reverse?

    Thanks,
    Jenna

    Shouldn't be, I don't think, unless you resize the pic ?

    I believe that TIFF can be 16-bit whereas BMP are only 8-bit, otherwise
    there should be no other loss.

    Also, Tiff can have a color profile.

    no. However, both take up rather more disk space than is necessary.

    Probably(depends what you mean by loss), especially going from TIFF to BMP.
    Has to do with how BMP's handle color. Go to
    http://www.uwm.edu/People/price/graphic_file_format_comparison.htm for a
    indepth explanation. The problem is although TIFF is technical better it
    has the problem of to many "standards" I've also had trouble with windows
    explorer handling some TIFF files-impossible to delete! I try to use PNG as
    much as possible. Most(all?) modern graphics programs seem to support it.
