Somebody help me... I've just royally screwed myself- Computer techie needed
Trying to be calm here....but I could scream.
Let me start from the beginning.
Night before last I left this machine on with tons of images I was editing still in PS, unsaved because I was waiting to run a separate batch process on them after I got them all through my editing process . Bad move leaving work unsaved , I know...
Anyhow, when I woke up the next morning, mysteriously my machine had restarted itself. Not the power went out and it was off, but it had actually been restarted because it was prompting me to sign on.
Cussed myself for leaving hours of work unsaved, then I figured no biggie and move on.
Well, Photoshop somehow got all of my settings reverted back to default as if it were a new program again. My actions still there but everything else gone. Again I figure no biggie.
I've been teaching Jake to edit images, so he sits here for 2 hours and edits a gallery for me that I wanted to use tomorrow.
After all that, I automate 5 galleries , some for my clients updates and some for mine, including the newly edited one. I notice my settings for the type of gallery to automate ( format ) is reverted back like new again and think that I fix it and carry on, upload galleries to sites.
I then delete all the galleries from my machine.
Happen to go to my site and actually click on images to see that Photoshop resized my 1200x images to like 300 x and compressed the crap out of them ....so obviously those settings that were reset weren't fixed when I though I did.
Problem is.... I deleted that entire gallery of edited images after I uploaded what I thought was all good.
Any way in hell my computer has it stored somewhere in cache? Recycle Bin is empty and system restore will only go to earlier today which was earlier than when they were edited .
