Not sure about your setup, but I imagine you could store binary image data so you don't have to mess with image format all. The one complication is if you allow folks to scale an image in whatever you're doing. You'll need to save the reformatted image data, so recompressing JPEG shouldn't be an issue as long as you start with "best" resizeQuality.
