I backed up my wife's iPad on my laptop using iTunes a month ago in order to install iOS5.1. After the iOS upgrade, I restored the iPad content however, my wife reports that the photos she had on the iPad are now blurry (they are). I have been advised to delete the photos are reimport the photos. However, the photos are taken by the iPad and I don't have them anywhere else.

If I restore from previous backups, what will happen to photos taken since that backup? Will they still be on the iPad?

I also notice that there is a backup on iCloud a dated a few days ago. I assume this is an auto backup. Can I restore from there? I'm pretty sure the blurring of the photos happened before that though. Would restoring from there help or will I be restoring the blurred photos?

Is there any other workaround?

Thanks.
