Just copy your original jpegs to a CD. Copying the file without opening will not cause you to lose quality. Once the file is saved to a CD its quality remains static since it cannot be resaved over itself. Jpegs only lose quality when they are resaved.

I have a Canon S50 that produces great pictures. The default size when downloading to my PC is 1944 x 2598 ppi, resolution: 180, dimensions:

PS7, I
then immediately savwe them as Tiffs to minimize futher loss of
resoltlution.
If I don’t want to print at 10.8 x 14.4, I reduce the image size to

6.5" x
10" and increase the resolution to 300 ppi, using bicubic resampling and Constain Proportions. But, I seem to lose resolution, and need to use
the
unsharp mask. Should I leave the resoluton at 180, and just reduce the
image
size, or is there a better way to do this? I have a lot of images to
print.

Just increase the resolution without resampling. The image size will then decrease. Actual pixeels will remain unchanged.

By the way, 10.8 x 14.4 is not directly proportional to 6.5 x 10.
