This is true. Also, I've heard that you must be careful about saving JPGs multiple times. Apparently, any graphics program such as Photoshop will compress the image each time it is saved. So, if you open, save, reopen, save, and so on, to a JPG, it will eventually have a rather noticeable degradation of quality. Of course, simply opening and closing without saving won't cause a loss of quality. ryan weh ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Yu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 12, 1999 10:12 PM Subject: Re: Graphic File Compression > [Roger Bailey] > >The ultimate solution was to download LView from the web > ><http://www.lview.com> and use it to save the bmp and tif files as JPEG > >files.
