Hello, my psd file with many layers changed into file with just only one layer - black background... The size is 1,2gb. There are no previos versions of this file in properties. Photoshop created Photoshop.Temp file (26gb size) in D disc but I can't open it with Ps by adding .psd or .tiff at the end of name. It writes „Could not complete your request because it is not valid Photoshop document“. Is there any possibility to recover this file?

I'm not sure you can do anything with that. This is the best answer I have:
