I have been searching, but can not find an answer that seems to be authoritative on either side here. Does resaving the same jpg file a few times degrade the image? I am not doing any changes to the picture itself, just adding tags, etc to the file.

I keep all pictures on two different laptops and actually will do tagging on each laptop, syncing them with Syncback through a WHS box. I need to make sure that each file is the same on all 3 places when done with it. Right now there does not seem to be a program that will allow me to catalog this cleanly so I am going to resort to this method - if it does not degrade the original photos.

Or maybe I do nothing and wait for someone to write a program that will allow the syncing of a catalog that has different file paths on multiple computers...
