To the group,
Since I am a commercial studio photographer coming from a view camera
background, I only shoot RAW. But for all you shooters who only capture
in JPG, please keep in mind that it is a "lossy" compression format.
Every time you open and close a JPG you get some image degradation.
If we can still open and use JPGs 20 years from now, a problematic
question, your favorite JPGs may be very ratty by then.

What are you saving your files as now, TIFFs?
BTW, loss on JPEGs only occurs when you save and resave, not when you open
and close.
