    Image in graphic editor

    I am not so very often use various program on computer. But once, three days ago I was finishing my project in graphic editor so called CorelDRAW. I wasted many hours on my image. Yesterday I decided to check that all was done, but at opening my image, I didn't observe all my new data I had done before. I repeated opening the file, but nothing changed. I want to open my solid image, as it must be.

    By default Coreldraw saves a backup file. Locate it and then open it.

    Coreldraw has a tendency to easily corrupt files when saving. As always when you spend time working on a project it is worth saving it every so often with a new file name, then you can go back to an earlirt version and not loose all rhe work you have done.

    If you saved your corrupted file, then it is possible that you have overwritten the valid backup. You may need to look at your backup archives.

    I used Corel Draw a lot until I migrated to Affinity Designer.

    Relatively backup copy...

    Corel makes a .BAK backup file that has the same name and is usually located in the same folder as the original file, but can also be located in the /Programs/Corel/Programs/Draw folder.
    When a file is corrupted or otherwise damaged, find the .BAK file, open it, and copy it (save as) over the original corrupted file.

    But in case you can't open .cdr file even after using some manuals or guides, then read and learn advice from Corel Company and other resources from Google, I hope some of it, must solve your issue with opening. Because your problem looks like your image is crashed and sources below might help to understand how to restore corel draw...
