And loss prevention has little or nothing to do with the decision
to save or export. If you track what features an image uses, then
you can by default save back to the file format used to open
the image. Only if some processing operation is performed
that takes the image outside the capabilities of the originally
opened file do you have to get the user to decide whether
to loose information or save as a different format.
