Hi Sid ... I'm new to scanning and Photoshop, and far be it from me to "answer" your questions, but I do have a question or two and a comment.
First, what do you mean when you say your file is "closed and stored on the server"? How does one close a JPEG file? Someone once commented that saving a JPEG image to the web in Photoshop is not the best way to get good images, and that the image is degraded by using that feature. Also, each time you save a JPEG it looses quality and detail. If you've been saving it repeatedly in order to get the size down, which is what I understand you to be saying, you may be contributing to the problem yourself. I'm just learning PS, and am probably as curious as you about these things.
