To get the most out of your images they should be saved as 16bit TIFFs not JPEGs.
If you do save images as JPEGs then decide to edit them later on, image quality is not going to be as good. Try it for yourselves.

I ALWAYS edit my photos in Photoshop prior to saving them as JPEG's. I simply posted this photo up online unedited so you can see what merging 6 photos together does in terms of detail. I save each RAW file so if I decide to make something with a photo such as printing, I can re-save it as a TIFF.
