Formats such a jpeg are designed to eliminate details which they FEEL are not important. The designers of JPEG or any other lossy compression format do not know whether a small line indicating a hairline fracture needs to be kept or can be compressed away.

I was surprised how interested strangers were in my diseased body. -- dorayme

If you convert a TIFF or whatever to JPG without compressing beyond what the JPG already does by default, you would be hard put to show an example where a human could tell the difference. How small a line that a human would not miss in a TIFF would be lost? Anyway, you make an interesting point, but I am suspicious of its practicality. -- dorayme
