Hello,

So, I need help to restore a PSD I was working on. Lost unvaluable time and effort...

 

I know about saving pratices and autosave pratices. Which I do and are on.

(I left my computer to get coffee, when I came back, computer was off. Figured it made an update and turned off, turned it back on, opened photoshop... file seems corrupted. Yes I saved it before leaving my computer, I'm always ctrl+s every step of the way.)

 

I'm left with this :

 

Here's was I have so far :

- The original file with now in it only one layer black and red

- Recovered a bunch of "Photoshop TempXXXX" files, for a period of few days back

- Recovered a bunch of "MyFileXXXX.psb" files and a bunch of "psXXX.tmp" files that were along with them, for a period of few days back

 

 

I can't seem to open any of the recovered files,  "file type incorrect" either psb, or .tmp turned into psd or psb. I've tried to pass bunch of the into psd file repair software, none of them work. It's like they don't recognize the files.

 

I don't know what to do left... I have over 10go of recovered file that I can't open for some reason, and i can't believe that in any of them i can't recover any data...

 

ps: i'm on windows 10, work has been done on photoshop 2022 (i also own the 2023)

 

Please... could anyone help ? Thanks a lot.

Also, my original file is still 176mo worth of data, which is the correct size it had before too. Can't this be salvaged?

Ouch...

You could try to open a flattened copy: hopd CTRL+ALT+SHIFT as you open the file.

We do need incremental copies when saving. File, file2, etc. 

in the mean time: https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/3bYW/increment-save-photoshop-script (note that PSDC online files do save earlier versions.)
