The 12 figure is not the number of times an image is saved. Twelve in this case is a quality setting in Photoshop. When using the "Save As" function there are twelve quality levels at which a file can be saved, with twelve being the highest quality. Using "Save for Web" there are 100 levels of quality that can be chosen. Shel ======= Yeah, Paul corrected me re 12. I think you could be right re the first resave. It always seemed that way to me. It does make a difference how many colors there are in the graphic/photo and how many plain areas and detailed areas, etc. I felt I could always see some degradation with every resave. Of course, I was also zooming in and sometimes working pixel by pixel on some area. It becomes pretty obvious when you do that. Basically, the work flow when working with JPEGs is save them as PSDs and work on that instead. That way there is no resave as a JPEG. Whatever, you know that, most know that. Personally, I find JPEGs somewhat to highly annoying. Marnie aka Doe ;-)
