After duplicating and editing a background layer of a TIFF file, should it be saved as TIFF or PSD? Saving it in TIFF results in a much bigger file than saving it in PSD, both with the duplicated layer. Why?

That’s up to you 🙂
You can also maintain layers in a Photoshop PDF.

Are you sure that you’re using maximum compression? (LZW or ZIP for the flattened version and ZIP for layers).

TIFF is more versatile and not proprietary, so I’d use TIFF. But as Thomas says, it’s amatter of choice

Both TIFF and PSD are in hands of Adobe (after they acquired Aldus)…

But TIFF is more exportable, as the PSD format keeps on changing with new releases.

And publicly documented (until Adobe does a TIFF7 and makes it non-public, but we’ll always have TIFF6).
