I understand the file/memory savings of using JPEG over PNG, but my one
concern is the lossy factor. I may be incorrect here, so you may have to
enlighten me. But with a JPEG internal saving, every time you save the
document, the JPEG loses a bit more information. Over time, multiple
open/saves (like revisions) would significantly change the JPEG image from
the original. For me, that is not what I would expect or want.
