I have been saving at JPG 12 quality because my printer needs JPGs. I
just checked though and there is no savings in size. Most full frame
10D files are about 7 megs. That's the same size as the original RAW
file, so there's no saving there. As to savings over a TIF file, there
may be a small amount but hardly worth the JPG quality loss, even if
small.
