Only if you subesquently edit it further. A Jpg that you save and then view only will remain as it was created.
Yeah, my thinking is that if I get a good workflow going with RAW development then I will just save as jpegs...and that if I decide to go back and edit then I will go all the way back to RAW. But I guess the key is to get it right first time round
