I find a raw file has 3-4 stops of latitude to play with. How many you
got in those jpegs? Does the camera always save the jpeg the way you
want it to? What do you do if it doesn't?
You continue shooting jpegs, I'll continue shooting raw. That way we
will both be happy <grin>.

Tom, you're talking about re-saving as jpeg each time. No point.
I shoot jpeg all the time. I copy across from card to computer. Those
that get worked on are saved as PSDs, period. Then:
some are re-sized up to 300ppi for printing (usually not saved)
some are re-sized down to 700 pixels along the longest edge and saved as
(smaller) PSDs ready to use directly in my website software (Freeway) or
some are re-sized down to a suitable size for viewing on a computer
screen and turned into 50~100 KB jpegs (using the 'save for web'
function in CS) ready for email.
Aside from the last option, I don't revisit the jpeg format once the
image has left the camera. Freeway creates the jpeg from the ~1MB PSD
files and does a good job (aside from stripping the profile out of it -
something they are working on, I have been told).
BTW, my hair upped and left long before I ate my hat ;-)
Cheers,
Cotty
