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?

That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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.
