This came up in the Mac Photoshop forum so I thought I'd ask the real photographers.
I had been told that one reason a RAW file is smaller than an uncompressed TIFF is because the RAW files contain un-interpolated pixel data, i.e., each pixel location only contains data from one color (R, G or B). Anyone know if that is the case?
It has to happen somewhere, either the camera or ACR.
Thanks for any enlightenment you can give.
