By editing first, accidentally overwriting the first version is a common mistake. Once the original is gone, it cannot be retrieved, unless an original is still on the computer's hard drive or on the camera's memory card.

A good habit is to backup your photos whenever adding more photos and albums and prior to any cropping or editing. That way, the originals are maintained if the editing is not desirable, or heaven forbid, if you accidentally delete a photo from your Kodak Gallery collection.

Fortunately, it's easy to make backups of your photos and albums in Kodak Gallery. In fact, in just three simple steps the process is complete!
