Default When you edit pictures...

Do you save over the original file? For some reason I'm scared to. I have a bunch of family pictures we took last weekend that are way too cool in color and have a black hose behind them. I can easily edit both of those things and would never use the picture unedited, so why am I scared to save over the original? I know saving jpgs over and over affects quality, but will one time affect it that much? I'm crazy, I know.

I'm the same way, Sarah. I always keep the original.

Nope, I save it as a separate file i.e. IMG0001-e.jpg 'just in case.'

I figure it's okay since I don't save my .PSD files. I can be overcautious abt photos instead.

No, I don't save them over the original. If I'm just editing for a layout, I don't save the edited photo either.

I edit for the layout and don't save the edited photo in most cases. Now if I am just removing red eyes and color corrections, then I do save over the original.

This is me!! If I'm editing to print I save a new jpeg and then once it's printed i dump those. If I'm using it for a LO I don't even save a copied version since I'm gonna have the LO printed I don't need a duplicate on my computer or printed in an album!!!

I also save edited pictures separately, mostly for the reasons Sheri gave.

I shoot in RAW and always save the original RAW files on disk right when I take the card out of my camera. Then, I just keep the edited jpegs on my computer. That way, in the unlikely event I need to go back to the original, I can.

I'm like you Sarah, I always save a new version. I'm too scared I might want to re-edit at a later date (since I'm always trying to improve my editing skills) or I may want to go for another type of edit that I can only do with the original.
