All Changes To Images Lost

Hello,
I am very disappointed, as I spent a considerable time working on retouching an image this morning.
I was finishing up the work with the burn tool and wanted to compare the image using the history palette.
When I clicked the top thumbnail, the original image appeared, but then I hit 'undo' to see the latest version, the file would not revert back!
Even using 'multiple undo' did not work - the file was switching only between the burn tool and the unaltered image.
I have never seen this happen before.
I saved the image as I was working on it numerous times, but I could not get back to my finished version.
How can this happen?
Could it be it reverted back through a series of keybouard shortcuts I didn't know I performed?
Unfortunately, I closed the image, so all chance of getting back the work I performed is lost.
The file imports as it was originally.
I am using CS3 with XP.
Any help would be appreciated...

Oops! The S and the Z are a tad close together on most keyboards.
I also agree with the incremented Save_As, as I go along. Though PS is a very stable program, one learns to do both Save and Save_As, when doing video editing - greater likelihood of a crash taking a bunch of editing with it.
I also feel that Snapshots are an underused feature. Maybe a flashing arrow saying "Use Me More!"
I feel for you, and wish that there was some little secret on recovering, but do not know of one. I'd recommend having a glass of wine, and taking a deep breath. You know what you did pretty much, so recreating it should not be THAT hard - just time consuming. Things usually go faster the second time around, as there will likely be less experimentation.
Wait, what are you doing with that hammer? Get away from the keyboard and drop the hammer!!!!!
Maybe not the same thing, but most of us have made a bad keystroke, or similar, and cursed a blue streak for an hour.
Sorry, but we understand,
Hunt

    just that that is one method, and lacks provision for working boot image and for an emergency - Lion gives a small minimal emergency boot environment but may lack all the utilities you need to use and run, even some drivers that your mac requires for add on PCIe.
    Just grab and look through Help in Carbon Copy and SuperDuper, both excellent and each has their use - together - for cloning.
    And do you have two TM backup sets? ought to consider that also, rotate daily or make a weekly set. Otherwise you are putting all your eggs in the proverbial one basket.

  • How to remove all changes made to an image in Camera Raw -

    In CS4 with latest ver. of Camera Raw, I think there is a way to remove all changes previously made to an image while using Camera Raw.
    In other words after doing this the little icon in the upper right hand corner of an image in Bridge that indicates changes have been applied to an image, should be gone. Another way of asking this would be to say, how can I start all over again with the original image in Camera Raw by removing all changes prefiously made to it in Camera Raw?
    TIA

    Sorry, I don't know the answer to that for sure*.  As a certified old geezer who avoids cluttering his mind with stuff that can easily be looked up in a menu, I stay away from keyboard shortcuts as much as I can, using only those applicable system wide, the most obvious ones in Photoshop like deselect, etc.
    * However, since no such shortcut appears next to the menu command, I doubt there is one.
    You could create an action and assign it a key command, though.  Doh!
    Never mind.  That was a total brain short circuit.  You can't create actions in Bridge.  You'll need a script.  Ask in the Bridge Scripting forum.

  • How do I change the image selected for the finalized movies pane in all events?

    How do I change the image selected for the finalized movies pane in all events? I made a movie some time ago in iMovie, and a still from this now appears as the image for Finalized Movies in the All Events pane (as well as showing up if I then click on this pane to take me to Finalized Movies). Anyone know how to change or delete this image, please?

    Unfortunately, the suggested solution in that thread does not work and the thread appears to be closed to replies.  That is, even though I am logged in the Reply|Quote|Mark as answer|Report as abuse items are missing.
    The suggested solution is:
    First, I found I had "img100.png" in  C:\Windows\Web\Screen  and
    C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-themeui-client_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16384_none_69ee3fa2269e545e
    1. Belonging to the Administrators Group, I replaced file Owner TrustedInstaller with my Username on both "img100.png" files
    2. After resizing the image I wanted to see on the Login screen to the resolution of "img100.png" file,
    I copied and pasted it to both "img100.png" files keeping this way the format (extension) and resolution of the original "img100.png" file,
    which I permanently deleted.
    However, I have not been able to replace the img100.pgn in C:\Windows\Web\Screen even after taking ownership of it and setting the permissions for my userid to All.  I edit it with mspaint and then try to save it. The save starts that then says the
    save was interrupted.
    The appears to be some additional protection besides the standard acls.

  • Looking for a way to view all changes made with subversion [image]

    Hi guys,
    My upfront apologizes if this is not the right forum... I'm using a subversion with eclipse and wonder if there is a better way to VIEW all changes made to my code. Right now, if I wish to know of a change I need to "compare with" and choose a version - this gives me only one file and it's really hard to go through 10+ files.
    Question: is there a better way to do that? meaning a webpage I can refer to and see all code that was changed/added/deleted? (the idea is to look at it at the end of the day and see all changes)
    something that can provide a snapshot like this image.
    The picture above is from Trac but I found it SOO hard to install. Wonder if there's a way just to view changes.
    Thanks for any pointers

    You mean viewing all changes over a codebase, as opposed to a single file?
    I do that like this on the command line:
    svn diff -r1234:1244 path | vi -(where the numbers are whatever revision numbers I want to compare, and "path" is a path under source control)
    I'll bet you can configure Subversion to take a diff tool that you specify.
    If you want to do this under Eclipse specifically... then you probably want to check with an Eclipse forum somewhere. Eclipse is not a Sun/Oracle product, so it's not here. Try eclipse.org, probably.

  • Lost all changes made in the develop module in lr5

    I have lost all changes that I made in the develop module. Most of these photos where stacked with the raw copy on top of the jpeg.  Then I had picked the ones I liked and make changes to them in the develop module.Then I and changed them to DNG. This was over two weeks ago and I think I was trying to put them in to a collection. Now all I see is the originals as they appeared on the day they where imported.

    Yes, it seems like you have two catalogs and imported into both.
    I suggest strongly you view some video tutorials on AdobeTV before you get into a tangle.

  • I recently changed computers and lost all my playlists from my itunes on my computer, i have them still on my phone. Is there a way i can get them back without making them all again?!

    i recently changed computers and lost all my playlists from my itunes on my computer, i have them still on my phone. Is there a way i can get them back without making them all again?!

    If the books were purchased at the iBookStore, you will be able to redownload, like the apps. Some other sellers, like O'Reilly, also allow multiple downloads.
    If you have (or can install) iTunes on a computer (Mac preferable, not mandatory) and run it then plug the device in, does it show up? If the computer can detect it, you can and should do a complete backup onto local storage immediately. That can then be used to reconstruct the content of the device on a new or repaired replacement. If you enable encryption, even the passwords will get saved.

  • When exporting a photo to photo library, all EXIF data is lost. What rational is behind this?

    When exporting a photo to photo library, all EXIF data is lost.
    What rational is behind this?

    Thanks for your reply on this!
    One issue seems to be with Foto Library app itself. When running an auto-correct there it looks like EXIF will be stripped more or less completely.
    Second issue is in iPhoto app on iOS when working on RAW. When exporting to the roll the EXIF is modified in a way. It was keeping most of the EXIF in case of Canon 5D MKII that I tested today, but the EXIF data is definately changed, e.g. lens type is different because maybe some fields are ignored there. Also the images are silently scaled down by 50% which is kind of annoying.
    The initial problem was observed with a Pentax K7 and I will need to reproduce the issue in this config I assume. Maybe tomorrow I can do this.

  • Changes will be lost

    When downloading images from my camera, I receive the message: "Changes will be lost" "You have made changes to your current thumbnails. Switching devices will cause all of these changes to be lost. Do you want to continue and switch devices?" What is the meaning of this?

    This is only possible with clientside stuff, like JavaScript, because navigating away is not a HTTP form submit action, so serverside languages as JSF for sure cannot be used. Googling using the keyword "onunload" might give interesting results =)
    If you really want to do this with JSF: make all navigation links UICommand form actions using h:commandLink or h:commandButton instead of h:outputLink or even a href links. Implement valueChangeListeners in every UIInput component and compare getNewValue() with getOldValue() to see if something is changed. But this all will not work if you use the browser back button or close button.

  • Problem in changing branding image.

    Hi all,
    I have a problem in changing the branding image for portal logon page.
    To my knowledge I have the change the image file under
    \usr\sap\EPD\JC0\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\portalapps\com.sap.portal.runtime.logon\layout
    But to my surprise I am not able to see gthe com.sap.portal.runtime.logon folder in the server.
    Can somebody suugest me what might be the reason.Is it any problem with the versions or something?
    Thank You,
    Regards,
    Rajesh

    It is:
    \usr\sap\EPD\JC0\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.security.core.admin\servlet_jsp\logon\root\layout\
    You can do a simple search for branding-image.jpg from \usr\sap\EPD\JC0\j2ee\cluster\server0 to find the location. You can change the location or name in the config tool.

    Maybe you had installed an action into your previous version of photoshop elements?
    Anyway here's an action that will work in pse 11, although the look is a little different.

  • Is there a way to change the image numbers in a file in Aperture?

    Is there a way to change the image numbers in a file in Aperture? We shoot with two photographers and so the img numbers are not in order but I would like to have the photos in chronological order on the disc when I give it to them. Does anyone know how to do this? I have them all in order ready to go in Aperture but when I move them to the disc to be burned they default back to the img number order. Thanks for your help!

    What do you mean by "image number"? The file names like "IMG_7822.CR2" or "IMG_7822.jpg"?
    You can create custom names with appended numbers, when you export your image files to be saved on a disk.
    Sort your images by date in the browser, select them, then use the command "File > Export > Version" to write the files to the disk. Set the name format to "Custem Name with Index" or "Custom Name with Counter" to create numbered names in your current sort order.

  • Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any originals?

    Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any original photos? Thank you.

    Simply: iPhoto is a database. Like all databases it requires that you manipulat the data via the tools provided and not through backdoors. If you delete matter managed by iPhoto (or for that matter, any database) through some other means then the database will be unaware of the deletions. The database will not reflect the changes and you'll have significant issues going forward with iPhoto.
    So, to be really, really clear: if you delete Photos managed by iPhoto via the All Images search you will corrupt your Library.
    It's your computer, your images and your iPhoto. You have the information, you decide how to use it.
