Well, with the Optio S, that offers only jpeg, I download the original file to either my hard drive or CD. If I want a print, I do any sizing, cropping, or any other manipulation I decide I want. I then print the manipulated file, then close it without saving. If I think I might want an additional copy later, I may save it as a tif or psd file.
