A trick I have done is to create a holding file on my PC and my External Hard Drive. I transfer everything off my card into that file on my PC and name it to anything that will allow you to recognise that file at a later date. I then reformat my card on my PC. (i have been doing this for a few years and still my cards are ok). You can now go through the orginal photos and delete those that are no good. I then drag and drop whats left to my External Hard Drive then go back to my PC and edit the photos from the original ones. Place the edited ones in their respective folders then drag and drop them onto the External drive as well.
After you have finished you are left with all the original photos you want on both hard drives to keep, which allows you to edit them differently at a later date when you learn new tricks with your editing programme.
