Photos imported into Vista from a camera seem to be stored in jpeg format.
How do I change the format to tif?

=============================
If you want TIFF files...there may be a
setting you can change in your camera.
Be aware that file sizes will be much
larger than .jpg.

For the current files...open them in an
editing program and go to...File / Save
As / TIFF. FWIW...this will not improve the
files but if you plan to perform many edits...
at least you will have the lossless format.

IrfanView may be useful to you as
it can do a batch reformat.

Download IrfanView

(get the plug-ins too)

For instructions...open the IrfanView Help
files and search for Batch Conversion.

Adrian,

Thanks for posting your question. You can change the format which your
camera uses to store its pictures. Mst cameras have TIFF and sometimes raw
formats available (though both of those file formats will take more space
than JPEG).

If you want to covert files already on your computer, Windows Vista can help
you do that. YOu can use Paint to "Save As" your pictures in a different
format. For more details on this, you can refer to this help topic:

Best,

Dave
