"I know that when you copy a jpeg you will lose data." No you don't. The copy is an exact clone. "What happens when you move a jpeg from one file to another? Any loss of data?" What do you mean? A jpeg IS a file. If you attach it to e.g. an eMail there's no data loss.

Hi, Michael, As W noted, you can copy a JPG without losing data. Moving the file is simply a copy in which the file is deleted from the original location. The confusion, I believe, stems from the fact that each time a JPG is re-saved in your image editing application (e.g., PhotoShop) data is lost as the application (re)compresses the image. Cheers, RK
