Hello,
I recently encountered an issue with a PSD being unable to be opened and getting an error message that says could not be opened because "unexpected end-of-file was encountered" I dug around and tried everything I could to salvage the file, opening in illustrator etc. But nothing worked. File lost.
Now the main issue is since then, about 50% of PSD files I try to save this happens to. I have lost hours and hours of work on complicated files with mulitple layers. I try saving mulitple PSD versions as I work across multiple hard drives, but they are all coming out corrupted. So the only option I have at the moment is never turning my computer off and leaving all PSD/PSB files open until the job is complete and they are approved by the client because saving them isn't an option. This slows my computer down immensely as these files are anywhere from 1-3 gb each. And sometimes the file saves fine, I'm able to open it again to test it, close it without saving or making changes, and when I go to open it the next day it is now somehow corrupted. I find this extra confusing since my understanding of getting the "unexpected end of file" means there was an issue saving it and all of the data wasn't saved properly during the saving process, but how can the file be corrupted after it was saved?
My question is, what the hell is going on? How do I prevent this? How do I solve this? I can't work like this for long and the idea of constantly losing important files that take hours to make is not a way to exist.
Thank you!!
