Sometimes when you do a side by side comparison you can notice a difference (again, ranging from not noticeable to very noticeable). It's easy enough to compare the uncompressed image in your editor with the compressed image in Auctiva in two side by side windows. Sometimes the difference is very obvious without need for close inspection. Again, a lot depends on the picture, and your fussiness ratio. Bottom line: If I ain't broke, don't fix it. Do what works for you.
