1. Re: Tiff byte order in PS CS5
Chris Cox Jul 23, 2010 11:22 AM (in response to kenk514)There is no way to change the default. But for most software (and all correctly written TIFF code) the byte order doesn't matter.
The default was changed to IBM/LittleEndian because that is the byte order for Intel/x86 processors and offers a slight speed advantage when opening and saving.
Historically, Macintosh (68K and PPC) used BigEndian byte order - which is far easier to read, debug, and work with, but isn't the byte order of current desktop processors.

2. Re: Tiff byte order in PS CS5
snahphoto Nov 11, 2010 2:25 PM (in response to Chris Cox)The Byte Order is set for every image by the source-device typically a camera or a software manipulating images.
PSCS5 kindly provides the 2 Byte Order options. Other software does not.
A Nikon NEF uses Byte Order IBM PC and thus defaults to that Byte Order when saving as a TIF in PSCS5.
Where as an HDR image ceated out of 5 NEFs in Photomatix, defaults to MacIntosh in PSCS5.
