If you've deleted the originals, there's no way to get the quality back.

This is incorrect

If you are using vista you can use the older versions feature to get your deleted files back!
You can read about this in my blog:

What about XP?

see the comments: on drives that are not monitored by system restore on vista and on XP I state the following:

Hello if this restore does not work, perhaps you have the files on a drive that is not being monitored by system restore (thus this includes the shadow copy)by default Vista only watches drive C for deleted files.. you can change this if you wish.. however for files that you simply delete there are other ways to restore them..

a free tool to restore deleted files is this:

http://filehippo.com/download_recuva/

This and similar programs work with the fact that data is not scrubbed from the hard disk, rather its tagged so it can be rewritten by new data. Thus if you delete a file by accident dont use the disk at all! Get a program like recuva and try to recover the file before it gets written on top.

Hello,

yesterday i I edit some of my pictures with microsoft office picture
manager. I mainly used the function auto correct and sometimes I increased
also the contrast. After I checked it now again, and after I zoom the
pictures it seems that they lost quality due to this rework.
Is this possible?
What can I do to rescue my pictures?
Sadly I deleted the originals. :(
Please help.

Thanks a lot.
Kate
