Name Your Top Two Photography Things Learned This Past Year

[DanOstergren]

Tiff files don't degrade, unlike jpeg files which degrade over time and every time you open them, so I like to make sure my finished photos are archived in this file format to retain all of the quality and data I achieved in the final edit.

Just wanted to clarify this often quoted mistake. Jpegs do not degrade with time - they will last as long as the disc they are on lasts. Also, you can open them as often as you want with no degrading of the image.

The only problem with image degradation with Jpegs is if they are repeatedly saved as there is a very small degradation the each time the image is saved. Save the Jpeg just the once and the image will be fine for all time.

I stand corrected! This is great to know! Do you by chance have a source?

I don't have a source as such as my comment was based on 35 years experience of using computers. But try https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3130445 for confirmation.
