Hello all! I am ingesting some image files. I have these files scanned as .tifs but when I ingest them into Preservica they seem to convert to .jpgs. I am basing this on the file size changing (becoming smaller) in the metadata, and also on the assets downloading as .jpgs. I am using Starter edition and I want my files to be saved as .tif. I'd also like the option to download them as .tif or .jpg.

Hi,

Your .tif files are always saved, and then the .jpg files are created as access copies, in addition. You can check that, and also download both, from the Preservation History tab.
