We're in the process of moving away from a 3rd party compression utility. Instead we've decided to work with native Photoshop compression. The question is which one to use?
We've toyed around with a few ideas such as TIF or EPS w/jpeg compression but I don't like the idea of using lossy compression. The simplest idea would seem to be to use TIFs w/LZW compression but years back I recall hearing to avoid it like the plague. I've heard rumblings that is no longer the case, though.
Can anyone recommend a particular avenue to take? Do you find any issue with LZW compression now a days? Problems at RIP time etc? What are the pro's and cons?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
