Some quick questions with Zenfolio

So Im not a master of color space, but I always notice an option for "save for web"
Do you always save for web when you plan to put a photo on Zenfolio?

Do you upload JPEG at max quality or TIFF?
My TIFFs come out to 80+ megs sometimes, and even with a premium account it seems they wont take the files.

Has anyone seen a larger scale print (ie 24x36) from Zen from a 3.5meg JPEG?
What was the quality like?

Just a little advise will help. Thank you

Here is one of your questions answered:
http://www.zenfolio.co​m/zf/pricing.aspx (only up to 12mb files)

I guess it would depend on what you are using zenfolio for? a portfolio for someone to look at; storage of digital files? if the first, I don't think you'd have to put on the full file size, if the later well of course you'd want to upload it that way.

just my opinion

So does a max quality jpeg print well In large format?
I've always printed from a TIFF

also, if you send something with a max resolution of 19x13 for example, shot in sRAW1 to get printed at 20x30 will it look like garbage of printed at a pro print lab?

I printed a 7.63MB JPEG at 20x30 stored on Zenfolio and printed by Mpix and was quite happy with the result.

File size is not the characterization of file quality, image size is the other half of the equation. What was the pixel dimensions of that JPG you had printed?

Plus with JPG you can have hardly any compression or lots of compression. And also with prints, a print can look very good by itself; yet when placed next to another print done better (better photo developing, less compression, larger captured image size, etc.) that first print can look weak if not poor in comparison.
