However, if you always save JPEGs at the highest quality (12 in Photoshop) the loss will be minimal. You can resave JPEGs saved at 12 several times before the loss becomes evident. Bob ======= Where do you get this 12 times figure? When I was working with graphic files, admittedly not photographs, it seemed to me there was a degradation after the second resave. Marnie aka Doe
