    changing modes = degradation?

      HI,

       

      Beginner's question: Does it "matter" if you start with a CMYK or greyscale image and put it into RGB in order to use a filter that only works in that mode, then bring it back into CMYK, etc.? Does the image degrade or other wise lose quality?

       

      When you do go hopping back and forth, doing,mode changing, using filters, etc to an image, does it matter which order or is it six of one?

       

      I know RGB has a higher Gamut range, so from CMYK to RBG it must resample and vice-versa?

       

      Image doesn't have to be perfect but I'm curious just what is happening.

       

      thanks.
