Does saving a JPG as TIFF bring back any lost quality?

No — JPG's compression artifacts are permanently baked into the pixels, and the TIFF stores those same pixels faithfully. The gain is protective: from this point you can edit and re-save repeatedly without stacking new compression damage on top.

Why does my print shop ask for TIFF when I only have a JPG?

Prepress workflows standardize on TIFF because it survives repeated editing losslessly, carries ICC color profiles, and behaves predictably in layout software like InDesign. Converting satisfies their intake requirements, but be upfront that the source was JPG — the detail ceiling is whatever the JPG captured.

How much larger will the TIFF file be?

Substantially. An uncompressed TIFF needs roughly 3 bytes per pixel, so a 12-megapixel photo lands around 36 MB versus 3-4 MB as a JPG. LZW compression helps, but photographic detail compresses poorly without loss, so expect several times the original size regardless.
