<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5130601, member: 19463"]Perhaps I do not understand the software that is used to combine all those images into one. JPG's only degrade noticeably when they are resaved. If it uploads all the images at once and does all the work spitting out a single image, there would be only one generation used and one round of degradation suffered. If, however, the process produces sub-stacks and saves them as JPG's, it would seem better to convert. I can not imagine a program like that saving intermediates along the way in a lossy manner unless it were required to run in a limited amount of memory. Since we are already dealing with overkill to the point that we never would make a practical use of the image, the reason to ask this question is back to the big one: We want to know. The obvious answer is to try one both ways and see what you see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
