If you bring it back to the original 50mb, you will be making 37mb of information up (interpolation). Your best bet would be to go back to the original file and and apply the fiddling that you did to the 17mb file to it, then burn another copy of it. Photoshop can be told to keep a logfile of what it does, so you don't even need to work from memory.
