After I saved the file yesterday, I try to open it again and this message appears, download an older version that is compatible with the same version of the file before the update (26.0) , but to no avail, and I installed the latest version, but to no avail. Have you encountered this problem and found a solution?

Most likely file corruption. Are you saving directly to an external drive or over a network connection?

OK, that's it. It's corrupt.

 

Have you opened Photoshop since the crash? If crash recovery worked as it should, Photoshop should reopen with a recovered version. If you closed that out again, it's gone.

 

Other than that, you could try to open it in Illustrator or Lightroom, but chances aren't good.
