File Won't Open

[codswallop]

I've taken a photo of one of my grandchildren and opened into PSE.I've played around with it to give it a "painted" appearance and "saved as" back into its folder.When I try to open it again PSE won't recognise it.I can open it up with Paint net but I want to take the editing a stage further with the "tools" that PSE have.Can anyone explain what has happened please.Thanks
ps I've tried other photos,but with no luck.

I can't believe that PSE lets you save it in a format that it can't then load so what is the format of the edited/saved version and what is the format of the original?

Also, what version of PSE are you using? (I've got v11)

[codswallop]

The original is JPEG the edited version is JPG and I also tried "all formats"
I'm using PSE 7 Thanks for your quick reply.

Hmmm. I have just opened a JPEG file, applied an artistic filter and done a 'save as' without changing the default options - thus saving it as a JPG - and I have no problems with subsequently opening that edited version.

At the moment I can't think of any straws to try clutching.

File could be corrupted ?
What size does the file say it is ?
Have you run a disk check on the drive ?
Will the file open in a different photo viewer ?
I trust you saved it with a different name or to a different place than your original ?

That's basically what I did,if you find some straws to clutch I'd be grateful.Thanks.

Hi OG I've tried it with a few files I hope that they are not all corrupt.
File size is 143KB
The file opens in a different prog.ie Paint net
It was saved in a different name.
What disk check were you referring to? Thanks

[SlackAlice]

have you tried right clicking the file and selecting 'Open With' and choosing PSE?

[bibblebub]

Is it the same if you save the edited version in a different format e.g. bmp or png?

[codswallop]

Hello slackalice I tried your reply but with no luck.I tried three other progs. and it opened in each of them.Out of desperation I tried PSE again and it opened up.gawd knows what's going on.Let's hope it continues.Thanks everyone for your answers

[bibblebub]

glad to hear that it now works

Any disk check. Windows supply a basic one.

Glad it finally opened. Save the files in a number of places as different formats to lower risk of loss.
