Finding Photos that have been saved as Tiff

I've been using Blurb to make photo books, and love the results. One of the best things, is that it will read my iphoto library without me having to upload the photos to another website. Problem, is it will only read JPEG or PNG images in iphoto.

It does read my RAW photos as long as I have not edited them, but when I edit the RAW, iphoto saves as 16-bit Tiff. Which I like for keeping the quality of my photos. But then I can't get them in my books. So I've gone back and forth (being the indecisive girl I am) and some RAW are then saved as JPEG, and others as TIFF.

Now I'm trying to find which ones are TIFF. But I can't find anywhere that shows me what the new file type is after the edit has been done. I made a smart album of RAW, Edited but it will show me both the Tiff, and the Jpeg.

Anyone know how to find out the file type of an image. I've looked under "Info" and it still lists as RAW.

I noticed that the TIFF's have a file size of 0, so if there's a way to search for that criteria, that might help too.

Thanks! For some reason, that won't actually find them. The filename is still .crw, at least what I can see. The search doesn't actually seem to search the "modified" file.

I wound up actually just looking in the package contents of iphoto, trying to find all files that have a .tif extension and then going back to iphoto to find the matching picture. Not simple, but at least I can figure out which ones are the tiff.
