Please help! I my PSD file is corrupt!

Question

I have a PSD-file that is corrupt. It was working fine, but I had some trouble closing PS. So I had to force quit. Now, as I am to open the file again, I cannot open the original content, all layers are gone. File data says file is more than 1 GB large (so the original data must stil be in there(?), but as I open it in PS all I get is this mish mash of colours. It also says its only one layer.

Is there somehow I can recover this file? Any ideas and tips is extremely helpful.

Thank you.

I only have two suggestions:Composite Image:Opening a Composite (Flattened) document from a Layered PSD File « Julieanne Kost's BlogRecovery directory:Photoshop: How do I recover an auto-saved file after a crash? | Photoshop Family Customer CommunityRecovering Adobe Photoshop (.psd) FilesP.S. You could try to place the file into InDesign or Illustrator to see if the flattened composite is accessible (if used), however I presume it would have the same result as my first suggestion.There are many 3rd party commercial tools that claim to be able to recover corrupt PSD files, however I would not pay anything unless there was proof that they could do so for this particular image.
