No, even setting the quality to 100% will result in a loss in quality,
each time the JPEG's is saved. And if you're planning on using 32-bit
images, prepare for a nightmare, because the Jpeg-Lib of the Xtra
messes them up (see my posts about correcting the pixel bug
in the list archives). So, generally speaking, storing pictures from Director
in a Valentina db means working around a lot of shortcomings :-(
