Error message: The image part with relationship ID rld2 (or rld3) was not found in the file"

Problem

When you open a PowerPoint file, you get an error message:

The image part with relationship ID rld2 [or rld3] was not found in the file

and one or more of the images in your presentation are replaced with a red X or a white square with a message box that says something similar.

Solution

Unfortunately, there is no solution. Once you see this message and your images are missing, the images are simply gone. You'll have to re-insert them.

But make sure it doesn't happen again

This problem seems to have a variety of causes, so to prevent it, you'll want to eliminate the known sources of trouble.
