firesometimesflies Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Sooo, I spent quite a considerable amount of time editing an image and I saved it on my usb yesterday. Once I was done, I made a jpeg version of it which I also saved on my usb. I thought I wouldn't need the original paint.net version anymore so I deleted it (regret it soo much right now). Turns out that the jpeg version got corrupt or something like that and no matter what I tried, and trust me i tried a lot, I couldn't find a reasonable way to 'uncorrupt' it. So I decided to use EaseUS data recovery to recover the deleted paint.net version from my usb. It recovered he file but was recovered as a 'PDNSAVE File'. I tried converting the file to a jpeg but that didn't work so I have no clue what to do from here so any help would be amazing. Thanks ?

toe_head2001 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 A .pdnsave file is just a renamed .pdn file. https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/26562-pdnbak-files/?do=findComment&comment=392408 Simply rename it. Example: MyImage.pdnsave -> MyImage.pdn Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

firesometimesflies Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Wait, im confused what do to. the pdnsave file name is stuff.jpg.0 and i renamed to stuff.pdn it and tried opening it but that didn't work. I also tried recovering it again off my usb without my antivirus program activated but that didn't change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also sounds like you have file extensions hidden. I believe your file is really named stuff.jpg.0.pdnsave Moot point though; it's still a jpeg file.

firesometimesflies Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 So, knowing that, what exactly am I meant to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Try to find the correct file with your data recovery software. If it can't find the file, there's really nothing you can do. Remember to make backups in the future. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

HyReZ Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 You many find the exact file type by opening the file with a text editor such as 'Notepad'. Often the file type is indicated on the first line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
