Seriously if you are scanning to a level 12 jpg and edit that file and resave as a level 12 you will not see the image loss. If you were to do this over and over you would, but one time is no big deal. What I do is if I scan something as a jpg and edit it and want to go back later and edit it again I save as a PSD file then what ever one I print I save as a jpg at output size. -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net ImageStockSouth - Stock Photography http://www.imagestocksouth.com Tobacco Road: Personal Blog: http://web.mac.com/whmcclary/iWeb/tobacco-road/Blog/Blog.html
