Vista - Missing Images

Darthmalius · 05-17-2009

Ok I am a bit of an armature photographer. So it's easy to imagine I have tons of pics. Most of which I don't remember.

However I also use Photoshop (The reason I take most of my pics) So when I am starting a project I usual have an image or 2 I want to use in it in mind from my library.

lately I have been looking through my library of images and noticed more and more they are disappearing. Not ones I have used or ones I have uploaded or gotten from a download from an IM or anything. Just ones from my camera as usual. I checked the number on the pics to make sure they aren't simply getting over written by new pics and the numbers are still going up so there are no repeats yet.

I'm not really sure what is happening to my pics they just seem to be gone after a while.

For example I took some images of ice crystals that had formed some really neat patterns on the back of my car. I saw them then a week or so later I was working on a Calender I was creating and wanted one for a winter season image. They simply aren't there anymore. I have no idea what happened to them. Is it possible then when I run disc clean-up they get compressed because I wasn't using them and if so where did they go and how do I access them again?

The weather has gotten warmer so maybe it melted.
