</div>Why are you doing that? The filesize probably increases and you don't<br>
gain any quality. Since the "compression loss" happens when the<br>
(processed) RAW data is compressed into the jpeg format. The<br>
conversion to png can't undo the compression loss.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>(:=))<br><br>If you re-eedit a jpeg file later, you will loss quality again ! <br><br>Second problem : jpeg color is 8 bits per color per pixel. RAW is 16 ! using png or tiff, you don't loss color depth...<br>
<br>JPEG is not dedicated to edit a picture, it just to publish on the web a final image... using a lossless image file format will prevent this problem...<br> <br>Gilles Caulier<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
