You only get loss if you continually re-save. If you do a try-out edit of a .jpg file, 'save as' with a modified name. However if you started with a RAW file, it is that that you keep safe and backed up, as you can always generate another .jpg or tif from it. On screen you can't see any difference between a 1st generation .jpg and .tiff. For top quality printing, it may make a difference, but it is better still to print from the original RAW file (as edited) and direct from the conversion programme.
I am used to Canon DPP, which saves your last edit settings along with the RAW info & has excellent print preview; I get the impression NX is an even better (paid for) prog.
