TIFF preserves all the information. After you've edited the TIFF/Photoshop file. If you plan to email the picture, or post it to the World Wide Web, Photoshop>File>Save a copy... in JPEG format. JPEG format discards information as it compresses the file. This is called "lossy compression": the more compression, the more information discarded, and the lower the quality.
