Yes and no, if I understand correctly jpeg works by zapping the color
frequencies that you can't distinguish.
This is all well and good if it wasn't for the minor problem that sometimes you
wish to examine those frequencies (Quite often when first viewing a dark GIF,
I'll 
play with the contrast until I can see everything.  
Then again it would cut down the amount of media I use for backups :-)
