So if you're working from a .jpg and save it as a straight .jpg, you're losing a bunch of stuff and introducing a bunch of other stuff. Which, in just about every respect, is kind of a bad thing to do.

@evermorelawnless

Great, and vital, point about re-saving to 'lossy' formats. The results of multi-generational 'lossy' saves are all over the net.

The good news is that IrfanView will allow you to "Save as..." using the lossless TIF format.
