PSB file became a black background

Question

Soon After I saved my large project my computer crashed.

When I restarted my PC and opnened my project is was suddenly only 1 layer, a black background.

Is there any way to recover a previous version/undo the last save (or to fix the file?)?

I could not find any specific posts about this scenario, I tried some "recover prgrams" which couldnt help me and there was no backup stored in my recovery map.

Is there any hope?

HiIf you have tried psd/psb repair apps and they have not worked then you have probably lost the file.Are you on a Mac that uses Time machine? If so - are you able to recover a version from there?The autorecover file would open automatically when Photoshop opens if it was available.I know it is too late in this instance , but on a large important project save incremental versions as you progress (filename001.psb , filename002.psb ....etc) - then you know you can recover from a crash or from a mistake. You can always delete them later to save space.Dave
