Thank you all for your help and advise, however it was just nice of Sepiana to solve the blank file mystery and future 'Save As' will be, save_as_001 etc.

Very strange, though I now know It's not best way to save images but still puzzling why from .004 etc files are white blank thumbnails, friend suggested uninstall and use the Cleaner Tool, and then reinstall, have you ever had to try this idea for any other reason. I'm going to make you an offer. Feel free to decline it; it won't hurt my feelings. If you accept it, send me a PM confirming it. I will give you my e-mail address. You can send me some of the problem files and I will test them in PSE 2018 (2 copies). I can even test them in other versions. I will return to this thread and post my findings. Thank you,

To be honest I not sure how I got to using the "." it's been that long ago now but I've now started working my way through renaming with "_" but didn't realise I've got to work my way through thousands so that'll keep me out of trouble for awhile, I really appreciate all your helps. Just another thought though, never had a problem using .0004 etc with PSE 18 I highly recommend free Advanced Renamer for high-speed volume renaming of files; it can rename a folder full of files in a flash. It has numerous parameters that you can specify and you can watch the effect on the filenames as you set them up. For instance, in your case, you could set two "Methods", "Remove" with backwards box checked and "4" and it will remove the 4th letter/digit/symbol from the end of the filename (you can specify it to remove any number of figures from that position) Then "Add" "_" at "4" (or maybe it would now be 5). You would then run both methods at once and it will remove the specified positions and add whatever you entered, in effect, replacing the "." with a "_" With the Backwards check box enabled, it matters not how long the file name, nor whether it is a confusing mixture of varied length filenames, it will do it's work in relation to the back end of the file name; the same works in reverse when Backwards is not enabled. I could not get along without my Advanced Renamer. Thanks I'll check this out.

Just another thought though, never had a problem using .0004 etc with PSE 18 And I have no problem with PSE 2018 ( two copies). In the example below I used not just one "." but four "." in the file name when I saved it. No blank thumbnail! Very strange, though I now know It's not best way to save images but still puzzling why from .004 etc files are white blank thumbnails, friend suggested uninstall and use the Cleaner Tool, and then reinstall, have you ever had to try this idea for any other reason.

Tourerjim, I like the way you added the hint of color. I tried that as well. After seeing yours, I realize I didn't bring back enough. Lillias, a beautifully designed page. As well as the framed lithograph, I like the way you handled the flowers. Jim0004.....well thought-out edit....I like it a lot. Thanks Helen, if it helps I do number of images and save each to desktop, 'save as' Jpg each one then open them all in picture viewer, then mouse over the thumbnails on the taskbar and you can view them all as you mouse back n forth, It's good way to judge your own work

I've always used this as my preferred option to clone and healing tools. With your background image copy two layers. Check the eye on Background & BG layer 1 BG layer 2 select, Add Layer Mask. Select the Brush tool and a soft brush Select the Background Color to Black (erases) White (replaces) and erase the unwanted areas Uncheck the eye on BG layer 1 and check the thumbnail Select the move tool and with the keyboard arrows move BG layer 1 to repair BG layer 2

Just as a suggestion as I don't or rarely use clone or spot tools, in Editor with your background image, drag it to copy two layers, lets say it's your garden lawn that has a dead patch of grass, with background layer 2 select Add Layer Mask and with brush tool and soft brush selected, then set background color black, check the eye that's beside background and bg layer 1, then use the brush to erase the patch of lawn, uncheck bg layer 1 and highlight the thumbnail and with the move tool 'over' the erased patch move bg layer 1 to get the best effect.
This also works good with faces
