i was doing a vector art on Photoshop 2021 on my imac and then suddenly it crashes. normally i would just force close the application and run it again but this time, after doing force quit and reopening photoshop, all of my layers are gone. only 4 layers left.

Are you talkimg about the file you saved or a Recovery file? 

In both cases the result would depend on which elements existed at the last save-time and what you have done after that.

i always save my works because i knew photoshop always crashes. i knew i saved it. its just so strange because photoshop didnt recover it this time and when i open my psd file, there's only 4 layers left. i can't find any solution on google. i tried opening the temporary files folder but the folder is empty.

But are you sure you saved after creating all the Layers that are missing now? 

Did Photoshop open a Recovery File at all?
