*follow up* Tiff vs. PSD/PDFRGB vs. CMYK

I posted a message previously about reproducing CD artwork from
originals that used photographic quality images. I've seen some
conflicting replies that have me a bit confused.
I see the "Descreen" option and I'll try that out.
But one reply suggested saving as a PSD/PDF and another as a TIFF. The
PSD suggestion also said to use RGB coloring.
I thought the best option for print quality was CMYK, am I wrong?
Would a TIFF saved using CMYK give me my best, most crisp results?
Also, do I need to scan/save the image at any higher than 300 dpi?
Thanks again!

In article <1153073587.207095.60000@35g2000cwc.googlegroups.com>,
If you are printing on a commercial printing press, then you must use
CMYK. If you are printing on a consumer inkjet or laser printer, use
RGB. (These devices print in their own variety of CMYK, but the driver
software is RGB. If you send them CMYK images, the driver software
converts to RGB, then back to the devices own brand of CMYK.)
Scanning at higher than 300 pixels per inch will not accomplish
anything, especially since you are scanning halftoned originals.

That being the case, you would do better to save the image in an RGB
colorspace.

All are good.
This depends entirely on the printer. Is it offset printing? CMYK.
Inkjet? Usually RGB (the printer drivers make the conversion).
Again, depends on final output.
Depends. 300ppi is usually okay, but for some output 600 or even higher
is preferred.
