picture manager, edit pictures go blank

[Steph]

Hello,
I have been using the Picture Manager with Office and have an issue. I
recently was editing some picture-contrast, saved and then returned to work.
When I open my save pictures they were blank. The name is the same with .jpg
but no image.
WHAT WENT WRONG<CAN THE IMAGE BE RETRIEVED?

HELP!

IF you saved it as a copy then you would have the first one as a backup.
If you made no provision for having a backup of the original, then you
will need to acquire another.

Thanks Bob but what I am curious about is WHY this particular time did my
pictures go blank. I have edited several photographs previously and when I
save them the image does not disappear. Yet, in this particular case after
editing them the image is gone. What was the malfuction and how could the
image just dissappear?

I suspect that the contrast somehow got forced to -100 or brightness to
+100 during the save, and then everything goes white. Once that image
gets saved over the original, then you can't undo.

Ok, I am tracking the situation....That is werid. I was working with
brightness but back the ratio up when the image did go white. But all were
images present when I saved them. What a fluke!

Thanks,
Stephanie

You're welcome, and yes some weird things happen, always remember to
work with a copy, that's the ultimate undo.
