Save your good shots in raw format and re-edit them when your software and skills have improved.

The very best thing about advice is you don't have to take it.

I used to save a folder in raw and one in jpeg of each day's shooting, this takes up a lot of disc space. Then I got Lightroom (5, then 6, then subscription) and now only download the raw. LR doesn't alter the original file, it edits copies, keeps the edits in a catalog when you hit "save" and deletes the working copy then when you click on one it uploads a new copy of the raw and adds your edits. You can go back to the raw anytime you want. I often use "create virtual copy" before I edit, then the raw is easier to find as it is its own entry instead of wading back through the edit menu.

Depending on the photo, I now just this past week delete the original after the finished phot or virtual copy. If it were
an out west once in a lifetime photo I'd keep both. Keep a external HD with all my original straight of the card anyway.

Good advice. Also, you hopefully get better at editing over time.

I sometimes play around with an image to see how weird I can make it. It's amazing what you can do with LR and PS.

EDIT: Concerning advice, you don't have to take it, but people like giving it away.
