Actually, you should save all initial images in some format other than
jpg since they use a 'lossy' format. Every time you save a jpg image,
it loses a fraction of its sharpness. Use jpg only if you're sure
there won't be any more editing of an image.


I wasn't aware of that, but do keep the originals of both photos and
drawings - a Very Good Thing in light of this information!

Now I'm planning to revisit my camera instruction book to see what
non-jpeg formats it offers...

Very good to know - thank you.
