The compression on framestores is not what causes the image quality loss,
rather it is encoding the image to NTSC color ranges. A frame grab from
video can be saved as a framestore without appreciable loss, and saving it
as RGB from paint won't help. With RGB images generated by lightwave, a
scanner, etc. the framestore format should be avoided as you suggest.
