When I edit photos in iPhoto it deletes them

Hi,

I'm having an issue with iPhoto '09: when I edit my photos it deletes them. It doesn't seem to happen if I adjust the temperature or tint, but if I manipulate any elements between (and including) exposure and de-noise it deletes my photo. The weird thing is, it doesn't delete the thumbnail - this still appears in my iPhoto library. But if I click on the photo it comes up as totally black. If I want to email the photo it comes up as an empty jpeg. I can get the file back if I go into edit and reset my settings, but obviously I want to use the editor. I'm using an iBook, OS 10.6.8.

Has anyone had this issue?

Thanks!

iBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), iPhoto '09, v. 8.1.2

So if the original files are gone, they are gone?
