3F is kind of nonsense IMHO.
Hello Andrew
In many workflows (certainly in mine) I do not always have the luxury
of sending a 16bit rgb file to P.S for careful conversion to CMYK. In a
catalogue enviroment and shooting with an Imacon I convert on the fly
within flexcolour to my choice of CMYK (O.K so I miss out on a choice
of rendering intents and BPC).
This brings me to a neat trick that fff does.
If I need to go back and repurpose my file from the high bit master I
can, and the fff format holds a history of what has been output from
that file so I can quickly get back to a particuliar crop, level of USM
or curve, that I may wish to replicate. I think of the fffs as negs
that contain a written history of what prints have been made from it
and how.
Also (and this relates to cameras only) an unprocessed fff file (from
my 6MP back) runs to about 21MB and is still a high-bit archive file
rather than a tiff at 36MB.
regards
Nick Tresidder
