No. The Oly raw format may be compressed but should use a lossless
compression method. Using TIFF won't get you anything worthwhile, it
will just use more space. A JPEG with moderate compression will likely
have as much *visible* informaton as the TIFF. Your real loss if you
don't use raw is the loss of additional color information. The raw file
is likely a 10 or 12 bit format. The additional bits won't contribute
much of anything to an unedited print (which has a 5-6 bit dynamic
range) but it will prevent loss of tonal information in editing when
done in 16 bit format.
