Right iv got a few pics from my/our 'drip,slunki n I's trip to dam a couple month back,...now iv allways meant to put a post up bout out times there,..BUT as i have to 'EDIT' the pics iv come a cropper!!

basicly i took one pic,.opened it in ms paint,..painted out some of one pic and i thought id saved that pic to a new file!!...well the fuckes put it back in my pic main file i took it from in the first place,...now my problem is iv lost the original picture now!!.....fuckin belter too of driptray well n truly fucked up n crashed out wi his shoes off and feet up in this one cafe..........quality pic...BUT now the twats got a green face!!!!........sorry driptray,....So how do i put it back!!...and how do i save it to a seperate file?? leaving the original pic in tact in itas original place??

i even firstly copied the file so in case i fucked up owt i still had originals....well its green in both files now?!!!...TWAT!!

these trips SHOULD be logged here FFS!.

Youre a bit buggered if youv'e already saved it, if you want the original back youll have to copy it over again from your camera.

cheers BG....fuuuuck.......dont think its still on there!!

In future, make a directory to put the pix in, and then before operating on them, make a copy of that whole directory as a backup and call it something distinctively different from the original.

Also, use 'Save As' and not 'Save' which it sounds you've been doing - 'Save As' allows you to rename the file and asks you where you want it to be saved.

Aaaah thanks a SQUILLION scribble,...yeah i reckon thats the key!!
i did make a copy file to use on the ms paint in first place tho expecting it to put em back there,...but like ya say i thinmk i been hittin 'save'!!

cheers bro il pop off n try again.

Yeah - never use 'Save' if you're wanting to keep the original - always use 'Save As' so that you can call it something else and/or store it in another directory.

Bizzaro, if you've deleted the files from your camera, download something like Recuva - it's a free file recovery program, so unless you erased them, or have otherwise overwritten them, there's a chance you could get them back. Good luck mate, hope you get it sorted.

Ah culchi as it goes the one pic i fucked up iv found again in a peculiar file,...well where it shouldnt have been anyway..

thanks a lot man,..il remember that program tho for future fook ups.
