Digital BW, The Print

Jeff,
  The jpeg is no problem if you do your image manipulation on a tiff
in PS. The jpeg is the last step before sending it to whcc.  Used in
this fashion, it is simply a means of compresson for efficient
internet transmission. If you compare it to printing from a tiff, you
will be hard pressed to tell a difference and there are many postings
to this effect. That said,  if you manipulate the image, save to jpeg,
and do this repeatedly, you will definitely produce artifacts.
