cboling Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Hi guys. I've been bringing up an image that is a designless towel, and I import the layer with a design on it. Flatten, etc. Well I saved my original designless towel with a design by accident. I really don't want to go back and redo and empty towel. I saved, closed too- so it seems I can't undo or delete the imported layer. How can I delete the firefly and get my orginal image back without a big checkered space gone? THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, please tell me there is a way!!! (attached is the towel with design, I need the design gone without altering the towel) I'm an idiot and should have had a few saved various places, but of course, no I didn't.

cboling Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 thanks, I'm desperate. If you give me some search terms on what to look for, I will look too. Thanks Mountnman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I think you're out of luck on this one. Sorry. My advice: never work with originals. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 There may be a chance. I think mountnman was referring to this technique: 1. Open your file explorer. 2. Locate the file you want to try and restore. 3. Right click on the file, choose properties. 4. Select the previous versions tab. 5. Choose a previous version (if listed) and click restore. I too seem to recall reading this recently - but cannot find it either.

Red ochre Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 A very long shot:- have you checked that the original has been deleted from the camera's SD card? - just a thought.

cboling Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 once again, THANK YOU EER, Yellow, Mntman, et al- This really saved me. Bolt, you are so right- never work with originals. I was growing tired and lazy as I was converting 30+ files to upload to my website. Dumb! LOL, I've now resaved it in about a million places. YOU guys rock, this is a great community. I really love learning Paint.net. I'm a mom that doesn't get a chance to have many creative outlets, and this is nice.
