So you are telling me that a large TIFF can be imported, loaded, opened, saved and closed at the same speed as a small jpeg? It may be fractions of a second, but it is longer and when image files are in mass like a day's high speed bursts of sports, birds etc it does definitely add to the time taken.
I said processing, which to me includes all of those and the actual time to edit.
I said that size of a file affects I/O time. If the same given image is stored in a "small" JPEG and a "large" TIFF, the I/O time will be different, but I am not sure how the difference will work, because the software will have to do more work on the JPEG version {because of the compression involved}. However, "processing" the file {which to a former software engineer like me, excludes I/O} will be the same if the images are the same.
