Help! Photoshop Elements 9 Lost its mind and ate my photos
« on: Sun, 22 September 2013, 10:26:43 »
This morning I am editing photos for a new F-122 guide I am creating. I open the photos to touch them up, brightness, contrast, crop, whatever, and then "Save As" like I have done tens of thousands of times for years.

After about the 3rd one, (taking a 2MB .jpg to a 200KB .jpg, not that it makes any difference) the screen blinked and the photo was gone. Original, edit, nothing, and although it looks like there is a file in my directory, it is a dead blank file.

Attempting to use "Recently Edited File" brings up the bad one, and the Recycle Bin is empty.

What the heck is this all about? I formatted my computer and re-installed (and re-activated) PE9 a few weeks ago, but it has been working properly until this morning.

Anybody got a clue what this could be?

Partially solved. Thanks for all the help, guys, Ha Ha.

The "size" somehow set itself to 2 pixels wide (I certainly didn't do it, knowingly, at least).

I still don't know why it destroyed the originals, when I checked out I did not select "Replace Original"

Just in case this happens to anybody else.
