This is only true of lossy compressed formats like jpeg and PCD.

Only if you change the quality when resaving the .jpg file or if you
resample the file in any way prior to resaving the .jpg file even at the
same quality level. With .tif files, you will lose information only if you
resample the file after opening it and before resaving it.

once in PhotoPaint it can be compressed using LZW. This appears to be one
exception.

Come on guys, what happens when you save with jpeg or any
other
compression that loses data? You save the file, the
compression algorithm
desides what information can be thrown away, and then saves
it..
I have to agree with Hugo here. His explanation is what I always read
and learned, and it also makes perfect sense.
The only very slight disagreement I'd have is that it might be possible
that if you open and save in JPEG format enough times, you might
actually reach a point where you are "ch
