Maybe there is some part of this that I don't grasp. I have always heard that saving JPEG images would eventually sap the life out of them. They continue to be compressed and have data thrown out after each successive save.

So I wanted to see just how far from perfect I could go. You would think that the example above, after being saved twenty five times would show more signs of wear, but I don't see it. Especially after cropping down as far as I did.

I have destroyed many an image, but it has been through the over manipulation of something that started out being poorly exposed. It would seem that only the act of saving a JPEG that was properly exposed does not create the kind of deterioration that I expected to see.

If someone can point out how I have misunderstood this issue I would like to hear it.
