Opening a JPG image and re-saving as JPG will always reduce its quality. Whether or not your manual explains this, it's still true.

Practically all Poser textures are saved in JPG format so you're already starting with image data that is partly trashed. You can see in some market textures where the texture artist didn't understand this (not naming names) and there are many visible JPG artifacts.
