HI All,
Surely JPEG would mainly be used as either the source from a Camera, the final result of an edit or where space was at an absolute premium.
In most other instances, intermediate edits or (if accepted by the Lab) for printing, the file would be saved as a Tiff or PSD.
JPEG itself is Lossy so, by definition, the more compression you add the more detail you lose. Saving at lower levels of compression should give better results.
When saving for the Web, you would probably have already reduced the dimensions to something more manageable, ie to fit a 800x600 or 640x480 screen, so the file should be a reasonable size without using a high level of compression.
Regards
Nigel
