[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 29746, member: 7240"] Your wording is not completely accurate. [B]Reading[/B] or [B]opening[/B] a file does nothing to it, but you are correct that every time a file is [B]re-saved[/B] as a JPEG, degradation may take place because the JPEG compression algorithm is run to the image before the data is written back to the disc. You may open (aka view) the image as many times as you like, the data will be intact. [/QUOTE]
