Maybe you can try to describe what you plan to edit ? Exp like leveling, colour balance or photo manipulation like changing of background.

I believe what you mentioned above is possible with iPhoto. I am more comfortable editing photo with Photoshop CS3.

iphoto is never my photo editing software.

iPhoto '08 photos are stored in
~(home folder)/Pictures/iPhoto Library.

that's a package file, so I recommend you make a copy and then do your editing with the copy.

yes, cos iPhoto is a library-based app, like iTunes.
if you edit the pictures inside the iPhoto library directly, you risk damaging the library permanently.

at the very least, make a backup of the iPhoto library.

for mac, why not try aperture for a non linear workflow? Been using lightroom for 6 months.. switched to aperture.. and im still using it till now, non is superior just that i prefer the workflow that aperture gives me.
