Hi cjgriff and welcome to the Q&A Board. I'm not sure I quite understand, do you have a hard copy that you'd like to edit? If so you'll need to scan it to get a digital copy. Save it as a tiff if the option is available and edit away, saving the results as a jpg (or a tiff with another name) so that your original is intact. If instead you're talking about making a copy of a digital image simply right click on the file, then copy and paste it into a seperate folder (editing?) to seperate it from the original. I don't believe a simple copy and paste will degrade the image. Open it in your preferred editor and go to town.
