hey im not sure if this is the right place to post this but ill try anyway. ive used Microsoft Photo Editor for years and ive never had any problems until recently. i change a picture and then save it, but when i open it again the file is all blurry. and i cant undo it. is there any reason for this? i'm not sure how i can reinstall this so i havent tried that. thanx heaps

Hi mooki. Maybe a setting got changed that alters the quality of the saved photo. Check this website - http://www.printingforless.com/creativepro/resolution.html Are you saving with a low resolution? Are you saving as a .jpg or .gif with quality option set to low? The higher the quality the sharper the picture though the file will be larger also. Is "Save for Web" chosen in the Save menu? This lowers the resolution and file size which is great for the web but bad for viewing and printing. Unfortunately you can't undo it if it got saved as a lower resolution photo. If it is a scan or digital camera photo, you will have to rescan it or download it from the camera again if it hasn't been deleted. If you purposely lower the resolution, it is a good idea to save the original before changes under one name and save a copy which you would make the changes to under another name. Then if something goes wrong with the copy you still have the original. Save the original as a .TIf or .Bmp or .EPS. Save the copy in whatever format you want depending on what you intend to do with it but watch the quality setting if you're using .jpg Photo ORG.tif (orginal photo without changes) Photo.tif (copy with whatever changes you make to it) Also - when working on a photo, save it as a .Bmp or .Tif during the time you work on it. You may hit the save button several times during the working on process. .Bmp or .Tif will not deteriorate with each save. If you save it as a .jpg and then resave it several times throughout the working on process, each save will deteriorate the photo. After you have completed working on it, you can then choose to save it as a .jpg if you wish. Take care, Linda

thank you so much Linda. i was saving with a low resolution and didn't even realise. easily fixed. thanks again :)
