Your test was very interesting since I've heared the same thing as you through the years, "do not save your images in .jpg, or they will be gradually ruined". It leaves me puzzled...
When saving, were you asked to choose quality level? And if so, what did you choose? I suppose you took the best possible alternative, but anyway? Maybe the fenomenon is only apparent in a specific program?
As I've understood it .jpg takes away information that we don't see when displayed on a screen. Smart for sharing images, if you don't compress them too much, but since the file gets smaller, something must get lost? I think they get simplyfied and that subtle nuances dissapear first. Although my screen is set on displaying "true color" I doubt it really does, so maybe we all should see a diffence if the images vere printed. If the print is good that is...
How did your image files change in size? (kB) That would be very interesting to know...
