Bob,

I don't know what version of Photoshop you use.  I use PS Elements 6.0. 
With Elements 6.0, after I adjust a RAW file and save it, the program 
creates a "sidecar" file with an .XMP extension.  This file contains the 
changes that I made to the original RAW file.  If I wish to go back to the 
original RAW file and start over, I can just delete the .XMP file and the 
original RAW file reappears, to allow new processing choices.
