does editing pictures degrade the quality?

[Kate]

Hello,

yesterday i I edit some of my pictures with microsoft office picture
manager. I mainly used the function auto correct and sometimes I increased
also the contrast. After I checked it now again, and after I zoom the
pictures it seems that they lost quality due to this rework.
Is this possible?
What can I do to rescue my pictures?
Sadly I deleted the originals.
Please help.

Thanks a lot.
Kate

If you've deleted the originals, there's no way to get the quality back.

This is incorrect

If you are using vista you can use the older versions feature to get your
deleted files back!
You can read about this in my blog:

http://computerboom.blogspot.com/2008/09/restore-deleted-items-in-vista-with.html

What about XP?

see the comments: on drives that are not monitored by system restore on
vista and on XP I state the following:

Hello if this restore does not work, perhaps you have the files on a drive
that is not being monitored by system restore (thus this includes the shadow
copy)by default Vista only watches drive C for deleted files.. you can
change this if you wish.. however for files that you simply delete there are
other ways to restore them..

a free tool to restore deleted files is this:

http://filehippo.com/download_recuva/

This and similar programs work with the fact that data is not scrubbed from
the hard disk, rather its tagged so it can be rewritten by new data. Thus if
you delete a file by accident dont use the disk at all! Get a program like
recuva and try to recover the file before it gets written on top.

system restore will not resore data files of course..

but shadow copy will! it's a feature of vista called older versions

however as I stated before these 2 are integrated in vista, you cannot
control them separately

(shadow copy and system restore)

You went on to mention sys restore in winxp, which as stated does nothing to
data

in vista it does since system restore and shadow copy have been
integrated..

Hello, I am very aware that xp cannot restore personal files. Sorry for the
confusion.

I mention XP there only to state that there is a program called recuva that
can restore deleted items.

This article was originally written for vista.. I just added the reference
to XP when I talk about recuva.
