edit not being saved

Returned from trip recently with many photos and began editing. All was going well for about 2 days of work, then the editing stopped being saved and went back to original photo. Using Elements 5.

Sorry - I'm not following this. Depnding on to what extent I edit a picture I will save my work as I progress and if I don't at the very least at the end when I attempt to close the program I am prompted to save my changes before closing. You may want to look at your settings and reset to factory defaults as maybe something got adjusted by accident. Thinking this is another something I don' know.

Are you saving or 'exporting' your changes to a file. Most programs these days try to retain your original image, so if your not saving them then you will loose your edits.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but I wonder if where they are being saved is full. Are they being saved to Elements, or to a designated space on a hard drive? How much space does the organizational software in Elements have?
I always dump my memory card into a newly created folder in "My Pictures," do my editing from there and save back to there.

If you are not real careful when you save them, they may be in some other folder.

It might actually be worth upgrading to Photoshop Elements 9. The upgrades have new features not available in Elements 5. Haven't tried the latest version yet, I'm pretty satisfied with 9 and it does everything I need it to do and then some...

you should save each file first as a PSD file, then as a jpg or whatever other file type you desire..that way you keep the original as is, and the edited one that is still "editable" if you so desire on the PSD file, and a jpg to send or print..so the experts say..of which I am not one but try to listen to 'em

Lightroom is great for this. As soon as I download I delete
the junk and keep only what I believe will make a good
photo. The ones that are good enough I process.
