    So I found this picture and I was going to render it out and make a sig of it, but when I opened it it was different. No idea why. Here is a picture with thumbnail on bottom and what the pic opens up to.

    [​IMG]

    when I try to render it, it opens to that and I cant' render that. It has the stupid trident thing in the pick which ruins it IMO. Wont look as good.

    Here is the pic(pretty big so only linking to it). Anyone ever see this before and know how to fix? Will love you forever if you find out. :tongue: lol

    Maybe try to open it in a different program, save it as something else, and then try again?

    Says it was made in Paint.net. So I tried opening in that, PS, Imageready, and MS paint but it is same thing. I edited a pic in Paint.net and saved it to see if it did it with that image to see if it was just the program, but both images were the same. So makes me even more confused.

    Happened to me once, someone sent me a render they'd done and the thumbnail still showed the background of the original pic :/

    No idea how to fix though.

    Apparently this is because when you modify a picture and then save it without touching the thumbnail windows does not refresh the thumbnail image, and it saves the old one in the picture.

    If you right click you can go to refresh thumbnail which will correct the thumbnail, but the only way to get the original picture is to find it again. So you're kinda screwed in that respect.
