I would take a look at SmugMug and their SmugVault option. Details can be found at this link. With SmugVault you can upload RAW, TIFF, PDF, PSD, or even video files, at any size(up to 3GB each file). It is pretty reasonably priced, but it all depends on how much data you have, and how often you access it.
Another option would be looking at something that ...

Since you say you are a beginner and getting discouraged by having to deal with the tool chain for processing raw images, I suggest you don't for now. There is lots to learn, and some things will have to come before some others. Focus on what is fun and interesting at this point. Getting used to exposure, shutter speed versus f-stop versus depth of field ...

If the TIFF files are only 8bit and the resolution is the same then there will be very little (unless the JPEG compression is set very high). The only difference will be slight artefacts in high frequency areas and potentially lower colour resolution if chroma sub-sampling is used on the JPEGs.
Additionally if the scan resolution itself is high compared to ...

Provided the TIFF is 16 bits then you wont lose much editing latitude compared to the RAW file. What you want to do in DxO pro is develop the RAW for further editing, by reducing contrast to ensure that neither highlights or shadows are clipped. If you do it right the image should look really dull. Don't worry though - you'll be viewing the image on an 8bit ...

With the data you provide:
the files are much larger
more expensive
it's a service they chose to provide
We can assume that the TIFF format used is less compressed and higher bitrate - most likely 16bit lossless, or the service is really pushing it. And they offer this service because the bitrate of the scanner is above 8bit, so they want you to take ...

Interesting discussion, one that has led me to some conclusions of my own. To comment on one of the above answers: "Consider the difference in value of an original print by Ansel Adams vs. a print from the same negative by a different printmaker." I think the art world would value that specific print; but if the negative were somehow destroyed, that would ...

File format doesn't matter as much as quality level. To achieve the best quality print, you want a lossless image format that has an embedded color profile that matches the environment you did any editing in and that can be reproduced by the printer being used for printing. This will ensure that the image maintains the highest possible quality and color ...

If you are using Photoshop or similar software on your computer with your printer, then yes, you can print a TIFF file instead of a JPG.
If you are sending the file to a professional photography printing service that includes good customer service, you could send them a TIFF file and they will do what is necessary for them to print it.
If you are going to ...

If you aren't wanting to loose the RAW format, unfortunately there really isn't much you can do other then convert it and send it. This needs to be done in a way that the format will fit and that they won't be huge. When this is done however, this causes "loss" of data as that is what compressing a file does. The reason that most places won't let you use ...

As a short term solution (until Davide adds native support to Luminance HDR), you should be able to save the file as Radiance HDR format in Luminance HDR, then open it in Picturenaut, then save it from Picturenaut as 32-bit tiff without any compression. You can then open this file in Lightroom.

As far as I'm aware the only adjustments Lightroom does when exporting are those that are selected in the Export dialog. You can turn all of these off within the dialog (and can create a preset so you don't have to do it again in the next export by clicking the 'Add' button under the list of presets on the left).
The only adjustable setting that can't be ...

You can save that. I mean not in a way like it stays tightly related with the photo - but what you can do is after adjusting the settings, you can save all of them in one "Recipe" and later pull that "Recipe" from their "All Recipe" tab.
I am using Color Efex Pro version 4 in Mac and I have this feature available in it.
