Tested this feature today and it works fine. In the past I always converted my foto´s from psd to jpg and introduced them in PTE.

I learned sometimes ago that jpg-files everyyime when they were opened and closed the quality goes down thus therefor I think it would be useful although the format of PSD-files will be a trigger.

Thanks anyway,

AllieB

PTE does not resave the file. therefore the quality does not change. It is only if you open & resave that th quality would change as it is a lossy process.

PTE just links to files and all changes are Virtual within the Program

@jkb thank you for your response. 

Yes I know how PTE works with the files itself. I wasn´t clear in my response. As I take all my foto´s in raw they were saved in Lightroom and when I want to use them in PTE makes copies as jpg. But during the process of creating a slideshow often I had to change a detail in one of these foto´s. At that point I do that changes mostly in Photshop and there for I have to open the jpg-file, make the corrections, and save again in the PTE-show. That´s the point were I fear to lose quality.

I hope this cleared my point.

If you save your jpegs at maximum quality it should not be an issue.

Try opening and saving a max quality jpeg and give it a suffix in the file name.

See how many times you can do this before you notice a difference between the original and version x.

I use Save For the Web - you can compare versions and adjust quality.

If you are working with raw files, then just save the PSD file & make any extra changes you need on that.
You then create a new jpg each time (over writing the old if need be). That way you never need to open & resave a jpg

As Dave says use Save For Web, you will get better quality for a smaller file size

I have never used Lightroom, I always worked in PS, but now do everything in PTE unless I need a complicated detailed Mask
