Oh, wow.. I have never noticed that!! Holy shit.. It's been so many years too. I'm not sure if I will be able to find the source file to replace the current one
Yeah, dA's retarded like that. I've been seeing this error everywhere shopping for Prints. Artists upload a Deviation, set it up for Print selling, update the original Deviation, and the Print previews remain to be of the old version unless they change them manually. Notice the italicization of the plurizations, because apparently if you change just the Photo Print preview to the new one, the Canvas and Fine Art Print preview remain to be the old one.
In any case, I bought an 8x10 Lustre Photo Print of this anyway just to see if I'd get the updated or old version, and the shipment arrived today. It's the old version. Which is nice too, and I don't really mind because it isn't that expensive. I'm just glad my paranoid theory that the Prints department will print the Prints' preview regardless of the original Deviation's update status turned out to be true because I've hesitated to order larger, more expensive Prints of people's stuff that have the same problem and have alerted them to the error as I have you.
If you can't find the source file through a traditional filename search, might I recommend VisiPics which will search for varying degrees of similar or exact duplicate images on your computer kind of like how reverse image search engines like TinEye or ascii2d work. Just make sure you put a copy of this updated deviation in the directory you suspect the source file is in when you run the search so the original high resolution 'duplicate' of it will show up alongside the planted bait, if it's there. Don't know if it'll work for .psd files and the like though.
holy shit!! You just saved my ass with that hint on VisiPics. I was already gave up.. My husband did a backup of all of my shit from the past decade but he also mixed it with his art which gives you thousands and thousands images with totally stupid names (and sometimes crazy file sizes which makes it hard to browse/create thumbs for all of them) and browsing through it to find the matching web size jpgs, source size jpgs.. I gave up just thinking about it.
If I find a bunch of jpgs with the same image but no psd with the same name - I will look for it manually. But this entire things seems to make it so much more bearable!! THANK YOU!!
