Photography - file size


Expert: Barrie Tumbridge - 10/17/2009

Question
my canon 5D mark 2 produces RAW files of aprox 25 to 30 MB.However many photo agences seem to be asking for files of over 50 MB.How do I achieve files this big.  thanks roddy

Answer
I don't supply images to agencies but I am very surprised that they are asking for a minimum of 50Mb TIFF files are usually bigger but I don't think the file size will dictate the quality of the image. You should ensure that they are 300pix per inch which may well increase the file size.
