No, the JPEG data should remain the same unless you actually change the
image itself. Changes to other parts of the document should not affect
the image data. Nor should the image be affected by scaling, cropping,
or rotation. The application just keeps track of the transformations,
and applies them when displaying or printing the image. This might
affect the APPEARANCE of the image when displayed or printed, but the
data itself should remain intact.
