Indeed, I've confirmed this many times.
This is the one deficiency in Rev that is a blocker for using it as
a photo processing tool. I would love to build my own workbench
for taking digital images from camera and then back out again to
jpeg. But, given the degradation, it's not an option, ImageReady
(uses the PS engine) is still our mainstay there.

Would be great if it was ever solved... though
I don't think the low-quality export issue is even on the horizon for a fix.

Muse: The new bicubic quality upgrade for resizing inside Rev works though,
and really well, I wonder if that algorithm might be tied into the
Jpeg export and solve the quality issue?
