| | | | I don't know if this is common knowledge or not ... I know I found it the hard way: jpeg does not necessarily mean "lossy" compression. You can (with a conversion program, I use Firehand Ember), convert from .xxx to .jpg without loosing information. (...) (26 years ago, 2-Feb-99, to lugnet.publish)

Of course, Photoshop, like most applications has to be set to always save at 100% to avoid image degradation in a jpg. Photoshop does a pretty good job of compensating (...)
