uncrop photo

[joebox]

is there a way to undo a photo crop?

[bad_brain]

what you mean? you only have a cropped part of an image?

i cropped a photo and saved it to the original and closed the program. Can I recover the missing pieces?

I'm afraid that that's not possible.

hm, yeah, will be hard....but not completely impossible. what you could do is to run photorec and recover all images, with a little luck the one you overwrote can be found there too:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

also the problem is when you OVERWRITE the file with the new cropped version - now the computer has done worst than delete - it has replaced the original file with the edited version.

IF you always rename or relocate your cropped images - you can prevent losing the original. Set your image editor to "Save To.." a different folder than where the original images are kept.
