Saving Jpegs in CS

[mushy]

Just a quickie for those in the know...
If I load a jpeg and do minimal changes or even just save to a new name at maximum image quality the file size jumps considerably. What new info is it storing with the photo or can I drop the quality slider without visible effects

Cheers in advance

Each time you save you are compressing a bit more. But remember, something like USM will increase the file size.

Save as PS 10 --> which is Lab Quality. You can do this a couple times before it's going to be noticeable.
