as pointed out on several sites tho the are positives and negatives to both.

I have heaps of drama trying to get an image better once I have converted it to JPEG. It just isn't manipulative any more.

So I end up hunting down the original .bmp's, process them again from the start and then convert them to JPEG. If I stuff up again by trying to re-process them again while in JPEG, it's back to the .bmp's AGAIN!
