I was just working on a large image (site plan ), saved it, and when I opened it again Gimp had cut off the left side of the image and doubled a portion of the right side. Is there any way to restore this? I can't show it because of copyright issues.

If it was a large image it may have just been showing the right side while the left side was hidden at 100%....You probably just needed to move the bottom scroll bar - make sure these are activated in preferences - Under Image window appearance, check 'show scrollbars'

On the top menu of GIMP, go to File > Create > Screenshot, the screenshot will open on a new image, paint over the porn copyright parts for us to not see it, now you can post it Wink

Probably no way to restore your edit but it does depend on how you edited and how you saved or exported the image.

A Gimp Save keeps layers and certain data, but might not survive (say) a crop.

An export is different again. It can depend on the export format.  This is why a screenshot of the full Gimp interface, showing layers / tools / tool options together with details of your workflow might get you an answer.

Examples shown inset as they appear in Gimp: Left is a tiff that keeps the area outside the canvas. Right a PDF that ignores the visibility of the bottom layer.  From your description it might be PDF.
