> <p>
> Most digital cameras store images in jpeg format on the memory
> card. Jpeg is a compressed format, whose compression causes loss of
> quality. Heavy compression may make the loss of quality visible to the
> eye. Every time you open a jpeg image, edit it, save the file and
> close it, the image is compressed and quality is lost. Lost quality can
> not be regained.
> </p>

> To avoid this repeated loss of quality you should save your edited files
> in a
> lossless format. Digikam understands two of these: Tiff and png. In
> Digikam it is advisable to use png. Digikam supports the exif data in
> png files, whereas (currently) for tiff files, exif data are lost.
> So the recommendation is to save any edited files as png.

> You have now finished editing your photos and are content with the
> results. Should you keep the png-files or convert them to the far
> smaller jpeg files for storage?. If you are very concerned about
> storage space, you can do the latter. You could, however rather keep
> the lossless png files and only create jpeg copies in the moment you
> want to take your images to the print shop, send them by email or post
> them on the web.
