And..... how can you print or blow-up a photo when you have edited it? It's way too small and would be horrible quality if you blew it up! But you can't just enlarge the original when the lighting isn't the best, or it's for a customer etc... Please help! I'm a young photographer trying to build my business, and this is essential! I'm so confused... any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Actually I have many years of experience and I'm perfectly qualified to offer this service. I also trained and completed a course in professional photography with the New York Institute of Photography. The reason this particular issue is causing me trouble is because I am NOT used to editing my photos. I used film for a very long time, therefore I learned how to get photos with perfect exposure, in-camera. For certain images however, I want that "look" that only Photoshop can give. And sometime I want to simply change the look of an already "perfect" shot. I am an artist, and like to experiment. I have heard that I'm not the only one having this problem... I use Photoshop and Aperture. I'm just wondering how to maintain original size.
 
cos the man who edited it make it smaller by resizing it...

ususally when we take a picture by camera, the resolution is big, maybe 1mb at least and around 2-5 mb...

so its big...and of coz the picture will be big if we print it out..so u dont have to enlarge it..
