Question about Cindy's layered card templates

[DawnMarch]

I feel like I should be able to figure this out but I need someone to hold my hand before I delete files.

So, when I unzip Cindy's layered card templates, I get
-layered psd files of each card
-layered tif files of each card
-a folder full of pngs that seem to just be the various layers saved to individual files

If I'm working in Photoshop, I really only need those layered psd files, right?

Thanks!

Correct (but in my case - I'd only keep the .tiff because they are smaller files than .psd and work just the same). The .pngs are for programs that don't allow for layered files.

Thanks Darcy! I should look at the file size because I always thought tifs were bigger than psds. I have always worked in psd, so I have what is probably an irrational fear of tif.

I have used tiff for years. I use PSE. I always delete the psd's and png's that come with any templates I buy.

Ok, so Darcy, I went and checked and the PSD files are 3x the size of the TIF files. Thanks for pointing that out. Guess I will delete the PSDs. Thanks Kim for the reassurance too!

.tiffs would be bigger if the original saver didn't set the parameters of the file correctly before saving.
