I used to be a digital archivist for a big studio in NYC. You should look into a program call Portfolio Extensis. If you shoot a lot it is really helpful because it utilizes hot-folders, backup, custom field searching, and key wording.

JPEGs are only lossy, however, when you resave them. If you are simply storing them in a folder to look at, or transfering them between folders, there is no loss of info. It’s only when a JPEG is resaved that is loses some info.

JPEGs, I find, are more widely accepted – TIFFs are actually not not acceptable formats for certain websites, like Photobucket, where I upload all my Blog photos to.

TIFF is the most recommended because it has broad support over many operating systems. It is also non-lossy (no loss of data), and can support 48 bit colour. The downside is that the file sizes are much larger than that of JPEG.

Most photos are in JPEG, especially those from digital cameras. I usually leave them as JPEG. I use TIFFs when I scan negatives, slides or photographs.
