You might want to upload the xcf somewhere if you want people to help with trying to get it back. Howver, being able to keep a few layers (as opposed to completely losing the whole file) does sound very odd (your harddrive isn't making strange ticking noises, is it?). In any case, if you're getting a lot of crashes, do ensure you're running the newest version (click Help→About, should say 2.6.11). You might also want to invest in some more RAM (I've got 3GB, haven't had a GIMP crash in over a year). best regards, -Kevin _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
