 It's a common mistake to use File > Save Project and then notice that what gets saved are .zsj and .zsy files that can't be used by anything besides Zerene Stacker. ​ File > Save Project is for tasks like coming back tomorrow to retouch an image that you generated today. ​ It stores images in lossless formats and keeps track of alignment information so that you can resume work immediately,​ with no expensive computation. ​ See [[http://​zerenesystems.com/​cms/​stacker/​docs/​howtouseit#​saving_work_in_a_project|Saving Work In A "​Project"​]] for more discussion about that. It's a common mistake to use File > Save Project and then notice that what gets saved are .zsj and .zsy files that can't be used by anything besides Zerene Stacker. ​ File > Save Project is for tasks like coming back tomorrow to retouch an image that you generated today. ​ It stores images in lossless formats and keeps track of alignment information so that you can resume work immediately,​ with no expensive computation. ​ See [[http://​zerenesystems.com/​cms/​stacker/​docs/​howtouseit#​saving_work_in_a_project|Saving Work In A "​Project"​]] for more discussion about that.

 +If you have used File > Save Project and then left Zerene Stacker, you can quickly recover your work by launching Zerene Stacker again, doing a File > Open Project, and selecting the project folder or the .zsj file inside it.  After the project has been re-opened, you can select one or more images in the Output Images panel and use File > Save Output Image(s) to create TIFF or JPEG.  (Note: either the project folder or the .zsj file may show as a yellow smiling dog icon, depending on what operating system and program settings you're using. ​ If neither one shows the icon, just select the .zsj file anyway.)

 The effect can be worrisome when you first notice it.  However, the screen display appearance does not affect the quality of output image files, so once you realize what's going on, the worry goes away. The effect can be worrisome when you first notice it.  However, the screen display appearance does not affect the quality of output image files, so once you realize what's going on, the worry goes away.
