Hi Rick -
Can't answer most of your questions, but I do
have one suggestion. When dealing with existing
jpegs, or graphics that you work with in Gimp
and then convert to jpegs, save a "master" copy
(as RGB) in .xcf, Gimp's native format. This way
you preserve all of the original quality. Then if
if you have to make any additional changes, you
can go back to your "master" copy and work with it.
... of course, I use Gimp at work where I've got
enough memory to store two of everything ;-)
