Sometimes I have to save documents I will use again and again as my textures, some of them are made by several layers I want to manipulate depending on the image. So I save them as a new image in tif format to keep the layers and also because I think they are less big than .psd files.
Everytime I save a document in tif format I get this box and I don't know what is the best to tick...
Thanks so much for your help...

I was hoping that someone else would know the answer to this, because I always just leave it at the default settings. :/
I do prefer saving layered tiff files to .psd, as photoshop documents are proprietary and aren't an open and documented standard. There's a better likelihood of layered tiff files being readable and compatible in the future.

Thanks a lot Craig for your information.
The other day working with different tif files in the same image PS said that this image had different depth. I just could say ..."I really don't mind.. go on"... I didn't know what depth was.

oops,
well, I don't know about compression, I usually leave tiff images uncompressed (NONE),
but for the layer compression and pixel order I have no clue and leave it at the default settings.
But the depth should just refer to your bit depth, could it be that you had a 16bit tiff between other 8bit pics?
cheers, Uli

I don't know why I thought I had answer this post...
Uli, you are right. Some of my textures might be 16bit tiff and that is why PS complains about different depth. I will check that.
Thanks
