Bonjour,

If you open a jpeg photo in darktable, you can modify it (exposition,
contrast, etc.). As far as I understand the way dt works, the jpeg file
is not modified but all changes are recorded in the xmp file and a new
jpeg file is created when you export your photo at the end of the
treatment (am I right?).

So my question is: is there some loss when I export the photo to a jpeg
file after treatment with dt and is there a cumulative loss of quality
if I reopen the original jpeg with dt (not the exported one) in order to
add or modify some module actions?

What is the best strategy to work with dt on jpeg photos? Work directly
with the jpeg format or convert this one to another lossless format
(using imagemagick for instance) and work with this format before
exporting to the jpeg format?

I expect that what I say is enough understandable....

Thank you.
