Hi, I cropped photo in preview and since there is only an option to save it, not save as new, I selected from File menu "duplicate", added new name for it but both of them ended up being cropped!! My time machine was off 😟. Is there any chance I can have back the original? I am using macbook pro.
thanks!
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
And you had moved past the point of "undo" under the edit menu?
Try going up to "File" and pull the drop down menu under "Open Recent" see if the original is still listed there unless you saved the cropped file under the same name.
Unfortunately, I saw that original is also cropped a few hours later. In the meantime, I opened several other pictures and that one was already closed. I hope there some other way to restore it?:(
Have you disabled local autosave?

Autosave is supposed to take care of this for you…
OS X Lion: About Auto Save and Versions - Apple Support<-- See the popup in the 'Auto Save' section it may allow you to browse the history of this file.
Time Machine also can make 'local snapshots' which means changes are saved to the internal HD until a backup disk is connected. This is designed for laptops.
Check the 'Enter Time Machine' menu item anyway - it could be in the local history (grey not pink backups).
These may not help you get the file back, but you may need to look at how the system is setup.
Thanks so much! I didn't have autosave disabled, good thing to know 🙂 . I went through 'Enter Time Machine' and restored it!
Yay, that's good news 🙂
