graywolf, it depends how you are outputting them to your lab. if you are uploading via ftp or emailing, it may be beneficial due to file size to send as jpegs. Contradicting this is the software that my lab just adopted called "xsend" - very cool little program indeed. I upload as TIFF files and they go in just seconds. I sent off a 48mb file just yesterday, and using this software it went in under 1 minute, and I am only on a 128k ISDN connection! Previous to them using this software however, i used to have to send them as jpegs compressed to around 10, making an RGB 8x10 file only like 2.5mb. I promise you the quality most definitely DOES suffer...
