Hello,

I did a stupid thing ever....

I have a file and make it empty (deleting all layers) because i wanted the same size file and save's it as the same name, and a new name.

The next day (today) i see all the layers are gone oops.. i **** up ..

Well is there a solution for it? To recvor all the layers good thing i have a JPG of it

Did you ever close the file after deleting the Layers? If not the layered version may still be in the History.

Otherwise unless you have some back-up system (Timemachine on Mac for example) I see no options to recover the data.

Hi,

If all you want is the same file size (in the future), do a Select All > Copy > File New and for the file size choose Clipboard.

A second way would be to go to Image > Duplicate and work on a copy of the image.

Best of luck with your recovery,

Jane
