JPG after edit vs RAW file size

To some extent, it's a 'yes' with a -but- after it
Once you have finished working (playing) with the RAW file and you decide to save it to JPG, that part of the process asks you "what JPG quality do you want"
I use PS Elements and it offers me 12 levels of "quality" along the slider bar in the Save script. I also have some much older (Windows-95 capable) software that simply asks "Hi-Med-Lo"
Obviously the higher the quality you select, the larger will be the resulting file once it has been saved
Hope this helps

yep, good stuff here
