There should be a correction here in the article. I never said convert to JPEG... In Raw do not convert to JPEG. When imported in to PS use PSD or TIFF (uncompressed) please...Would you kindly change this in your explanation. Keep in PSD or TIFF only.

Corrected.
Compressed TIFF uses lossless LZH compression algorithm (same as in ZIP archives). Compressed TIFF file with the shallow depth of field photo could be significantly smaller while keeping all the same graphical information as in uncompressed file. But nobody use it because disk space is extremely cheap nowadays and packing/unpacking procedures takes more time when saving/loading compressed files.
Also, if TIFF, PSD or any other lossless image formats are unavailable for some reason, lowest possible JPEG compression level ("Quality: 100%" or something like that) won't show any visible compression artifacts and color degradation.
