I wonder if one of you clever guys, or gals, out there can help me.
I recently played with an image in CS3 and got the following result.
However, the PSD file has become corrupt so I only have this JPG version left. I beleive that I used a Diffuse filter but I've not been able to replicate the effect. Any idea how I did it?

Probably you did save as instead of simply saving as a Photoshop file, and you got yourself a JPG instead of a PSD. A common mistake, don't kill yourself over it :)

If your file contains layers, this cannot happen, since JPEG and TIFF files don't support layers (though TIFFs can retain selections) -- a file with layers will be saved as a .PSD (Photoshop-native) by default.
Whenever I open a JPEG (all originals from my camera), the first thing I do is to create an adjustment layer, even if I don't apply any modifications at that time, so that there is no way to accidentally save-over the original.
That's one of the things I like about Elements - the first time you save after editing a file it asks for confirmation. I'm struggling to get used to that change when using Photoshop.
