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.
