Like many of you, I like to see some of my pictures in print. I have some pretty good ones that I have taken in 5 or 4 megapixel jpg. But sometimes I would like to take a real good shot in TIFF, so the image will stand up better over time. My question is, does anyone know of sights that I can order 8x10 or larger prints from TIFF files. I usually use yahoo, but they don't except TIFF. Walmart does, but only up to 6 megs, and my smallest TIFF mode is 5.5 megs. really pushing it. Anyone know if any sights. Thanks in advance for your help.

There's little likelyhood that you will see any difference at all from an 8x10 print between a high quality JPG and a TIFF when you are talking 4-5 MP camera. If you print larger than that, it might become apparent, but I would suspect no appreciable difference in print quality at that size. Those extra pixels and info really won't show up to the naked eye.
