[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 743459, member: 13090"] As I understand your post you cropped a .jpg image then saved it, post-crop, using the same file name. Is that correct? If that IS what you did then I'm sorry to say there is no getting those cropped pixels back: when you saved the cropped version you over-wrote the larger, un-cropped image and now that's all there is - the smaller, cropped .jpg image. This isn't related to the software you used, it's a work-flow error. What you probably should have done is save the cropped version with a different file name, indicating it's a cropped version of your original image. Further, it sounds like you may have [I]thought[/I] you were processing using what's called a non-destructive workflow since (I assume) you were using Nikon software, when in fact you were not. Destructive editing occurs when a file is processed and the new file overwrites the original, unprocessed file and, as I said, there is no way to undo a file that has been destructively edited once the file is saved. Nondestructive editing does not alter the original image data or degrade the image but requires a different workflow. If you have a copy of your original .jpg somewhere else (on the memory card, your computer, the cloud, etc.) you can start-over processing that image. Otherwise you're pretty much out of luck I'm afraid. [/QUOTE]
