Hi! I'm an amateur photographer.
I wanted to post a #TBT of the first ever portrait I took (about a year ago), and I was looking at the RAW images (.cr2) with xviewer. I changed the orientation of one of them to see how it would look, and when I closed the program it asked me to save/cancel/etc. I mistakenly pressed "Save", but I thought nothing bad would happen.
When I opened Darktable to re-edit the raw image, it said it's not a supported file format.
RawTherapee also can't open it anymore.
The file size changed from the default size (around 24.5 MiB) to 42 MiB.
Is there a way to recover the original .cr2? Maybe it's stored in some temporary folder and I can recover it using something like Recuva but for Linux?
I can still open it with GIMP, so there's still data in there, but editing with GIMP is far from ideal.
I can provide the .cr2 to the devs if you want.
Thanks for any assistance.
