Retouching Copies
Most options can be applied to copies created using other retouch options, although (with the exception of Trim movie) each option can be applied only once (note that multiple edits may result in loss of detail). Options that cannot be applied to the current image are grayed out and unavailable.
Image Quality and Size
Except in the case of copies created with NEF (RAW) processing, Trim, and Resize, copies are the same size as the original. Copies created from JPEG images are the same quality as the original, while cropped and resized copies created from NEF (RAW) and TIFF (RGB) images are saved in JPEG finem format.
