Therefore if I am not satisfied with the enhancements made from the 1st copy of the original photo, is better to create a new copy of the original photo and rework on that one, rather than reworking the the saved enhanced 1st copy, for quality reasons ?

Hope you can understand what I mean

Thanks very much

Yes usually best that way ..... starting from the same point, what I often find is that it is worth working on a few and then comparing them and picking out the best.

If you want a compressed and Lossless image format you can use PNG. (Portable Network Graphics, the native format of Macromedia Fireworks, but is available in most other packages like PSP and full Photoshop, not sure about elements but I would guess it is.)

PNG is a lossless format that will compress quite well.
