Every time you **save** an image (whatever format it came from) in jpeg format, there is a loss. But if you take an image in jpeg from somewhere, and don't want to lose any more information, you simply save it in a lossless format (tiff probably best, IIRC, but any lossless format, including png, or PaintShopPro's proprietary format, etc etc). What is a *bad* idea is to open a jpeg, *save* it, open again, *save* again, [over and over again]. Though of course it also depends on the jpeg setting, which it helps to understand.
