Picture manager "cancel save" ruined my picture

I was trying to save my edits to a picture on my camera's SD card, but the
computer got hung up, so I hit "cancel". Well, the program finally quit
saving, but now the picture is half photo/half gray field. Why doesn't the
"CANCEL" actually cancel? If it had saved the whole thing, that would be
fine, but it didn't. It looks like it canceled in mid save, then 'saved'
only the half that had already processed, instead of cancelling the whole
thing. Now my picture is unusable. Is there anyway to get my original photo
back?

Probably not. Your PC hanging was the cause

Re: Picture manager "cancel save" ruined my picture

This is an excellent example of why you should save your files to your hard
drive, then change the name of the file. At least that way if something
happens, you still have an unaffected version.

I know that doesn't fix your situation but hopefully it will prevent this
from happening again.
