Bad idea! - in some cases.

It's a bad idea to do this if you intend you use JPGs afterwards, because you do not end up with a JPG but rather a TIFF.

If you then go and want to e.g. use this pic on your site, you will have to jpg-compress it AGAIN, which will result in a serious loss of quality.

That's like the copy of a VSH tape. It's worse. A lot.

I don't normally have a problem d-n-ding pics to my desktop. If you have a problem with the pics not showing up as .jpg images then look for a downloadable app. called DropJpeg. It's great!
