Picture overwrite

[Tas_mania]

Gimp will only 'overwrite' when you tell it to. Gimp opens files as layers and will save as an xcf file but the only way it can 'overwrite' is if you export your work to the same file name as the jpg you say you lost. You are also asked if this is what you want to do.

Check on the file manage for the file and if it;s windows there is software to recover lost files.
