Bridge batch action mistake - recovery possible from within the OS?

I have a bad feeling about this. Ran a batch process, from bridge, on 12 closed layered psd files, reducing to flattened small psd. Used save and close rather than folder because I wasn't paying attention. Apparently overwrote two weeks of work.

Any way I can recover from within the computer logs or OS? (I don't know about this kind of stuff)

Up against a looming deadline, of course.

Ugh.

Send caffeine.

You wouldn't happen to have your working folder inside a dropbox folder on your drive? All my work folders live in my local dropbox sync folder, it's saved my a$$ more than a few times to restore from previous versions.

Sorry to hear your pain 😞

Thanks. Ended up rebuilding the layered files from scratch. Though it took considerable time they turned out better than the files I lost. That doesn't mean I'll continue working without back ups though!

Lol any time I had to go back and redo lost work, it always turned out better. Still sucks, but good work.

I've been working from a live dropbox root folder for years now, it's so nice. Always know I have immediate backups in the cloud that can be retrieved with minimal hassle. And if my drive starts to fill up, I just set a folder to online-only and I free up space in a blink. And the work folder is synced between my pc and mac so I always have a mirror. Highly reco'd!
