JPEGs deteriorate slightly every time a photo is opened.

This is completely wrong.  There is no loss that occurs from simply opening and closing a jpeg or any other computer file.  Loss will only occur with a jpeg if you open it and re-save it.  Any significant loss usually requires multiple re-saving.  So if you plan on opening a jpeg, making changes to it, and then saving the changes, TIFF might be a better option.
