I use the best setting on my camera at 6MP; and at finest .When I download them on computer...I believe it's ADOBE photo it automatically makes photos smaller (jepg). Now I put these photos on a cd. Taking cd to store and enlarging photo to 8X10, will I get same quality like if I took a memory stick to store. In other words these shots are in jepg on cd. Am I loosing something when enlaring?

Even in "FINE" mode, your 6 MP Sony DSC-H2 is only creating about 3.1 MB files, plus or minus a bit. This tells us that the image is compressed, which is typical of all cameras that save in jpeg format - which is virtually all digital cameras. The first level of compression is 4-to-1, also expressed as 1:4. The "STANDARD" mode is probably 1:8. I do not see an uncompressed mode (such as RAW) on the camera. This means that the camera is making the photos smaller and not Adobe.
If you transfer the file to your hard drive and then to a CD, the image quality should be identical.
If you open the image in Adobe, be aware that there are different levels of additional compression available when you save the file. Choose "Save as" and then be sure that the image quality is set at the highest level, which is "12" in Adobe Photoshop Elements. If you save it at a lower quality and then move THAT file to a CD, you will be losing some of the original image quality.
What I think I'd do if I were you and you were proficient in Adobe is to view your photos and do any editting that you want, including choosing exactly how you would want the 8x10 crop to appear or adjusting levels, etc. Save the image in the highest resolution and then transfer it to CD. This would be infinitetly better than trying to edit and enhance in the store. The only glitch I see is that the store printer is not calibrated to your home computer monitor. Heck, it's probably not calibrated to the store monitor, either, but if you don't like your colors, you will have to either do an in-store edit or take the prints back home and make modifications on your own monitor to alter the color of the final prints.
Good luck! Nice camera, by the way.

What model is your camera? I ask because I am curious as to if your camera can store them as RAW files or TIFF files or if it is producing JPEGS straight out of the camera's processor. If you are using an Adobe product you should be able to dictate what format the file is saved in. Also, make sure that the file is saved in its highest quality. For example, I use photoshop and can save file to JPEG using varying levels of quality that range from 1 (minimum) all the way up to 12 (maximum). I usually will save them at 10 or 12 if I intend to get them printed. If I'm saving for email or use on the web I may use a lower number to reduce the file size.
Regarding enlargements, as long as the JPEG hasn't been opened and saved repeatedly (they lose data each time) then your enlargments should be fine. A 6 megapixel camera in its best setting should give you about as big an enlargement as you'd ever want to print.

When saving a photo in Adobe, try instead clicking on "Save As" and look for an options button. Sometimes you can click on this and use the least amount of jpg compression (best quality). This may even make the file bigger

I grew up watching Monty Python's Flying Circus and a great form of alternative super British shows, so the accessory sounds completely widespread to me. The Irish are no longer from now on solid to understand than human beings from Louisiana or Tennessee! enormously older human beings look to have a tricky time with all accents - it drives my Dad nuts attempting to make your strategies up what the Brits and Aussies and Kiwis are asserting on his golfing channel publicizes! don't be insulted - American manufacturers reproduction each thing - even our own shows. they are no longer enormous on originality in the event that they are able to take the uncomplicated direction and scouse borrow somebody else's artwork.

Probably not, but just to be safe, use the media stick. That way you know for sure that you're printing exactly what you shot!
