Good Photoshop Habit:
Have you ever flattened an image and then was betrayed by ctrl+s? Downsized a file just to have it overwritten while you haven't been paying attention?
Here is a solution to your problems!
I have created the habit of never using the flatten or resize down command before duplicating my image. It's as simple as
Image > Duplicate
This will create a new file where, if you accidently press ctrl+S, will prompt you where to save the new file. It works both ways - if you save your original file flattened by accident, you still have a copy with all layers and resolution intact.
Remember to duplicate before flattening! Saved me more times than I could count.
