I know that every time you save a jpeg there is some loss of data.
But I’ve been looking back at some of my old pictures from five years ago and the quality is crap.
I don’t know if it’s because the quality of my camera and images now are so much better than five years ago or if the quality has actually deteriorated that much.
I know I have only saved them one or two times.
They have been moved around a bit-from folder to folder to cd to new hard drive to DVD to external hard drive etc etc…..but would doing that cause quality loss or does it literally have to be saved for the loss to happen?

| It has to be saved. Copying makes no difference. |

Most likely, the technology has just improved that much. I try to go through my photos every six months to a year and clean out old ones that I have since reshot. It's amazing when I look back at the shots I took with an old Sony Mavica FD-95 - shots that I thought were amazing at the time now look old, pixelly, grainy, out of focus, and just generally awful.
Five years makes a world of difference in technology. :)

| I had a Mavica too, were they not wonderfull.... at the time. I look back at them and say "crap". But they are still great memories. I am sure I will say the same in 5 years about my pictures from my Canon "Rebel". |
