Photoshop CC corrupting files (layers) while saving

Not to sound like an idiot, but I thought I was having this problem. The truth is that Photoshop opened with the History tab active instead of the Layers tab. Since I was in a rush I didn't realize it and just went into panic mode.

I came here to see if anyone else had a corrupt PSB file. Yes I had the issue today. I saved the file and reopened and it turned things black and chopped up holes in layers. Anyone from ADOBE solve this issue?

I am having the same issue! I was working on a collaborative poster last night and when I was saving other documents I had also opened in photoshop CC my main file (the collaborative poster document [saved as TIFF]) shut itself down.  When I tried to reopen the TIFF file chunks of image data was missing.  It looked like someone had taken the  rectangle tool and deleted parts out of every layer image I had recently edited.  I also tried to open the other documents I had been saving at the time and they all had the same rectangular piece missing/cut out of the very center of the object image with which I was working. 

I have not yet updated to Mavericks because of all of the issues I have been hearing about it.  So clearly the version of Apple Software is not the problem. Although, I do think it is interesting that Windows Users are not experiencing this problem (at least none that I am aware of).

I, however, have not had a problem until just last night around 11:15pm.  I am actually afraid to use the adobe software now incase it corrupts anymore of my files.

So I understand the whole partially corrupted part because the file still opens but image data is missing/lost.  In addition, to what you are asking--that is, is there anyway to prevent this from happening again--I want to know if there is a way to recover my files.  Since this is an issue with Adobe Software, I would like to see that they not only have a way to prevent this from happening again but that they would have a way to retrieve partially corrupted files.  I am a college student and I have been told to not only invest in Adobe Software but to trust it, but I cannot afford to be investing in a incorporation that produces buggy software.

ADOBE, I think it is time for you to chime in here.

P.S. I will see if I can find any Adobe published software that will recover corrupted files, but please keep posting, and let us know what you find out!

My problem is when saving a file "Save As". When I "save as" a jpg it creates another file. Last night when working on our wedding invitations I saved the PSD file as a JPG. I do this because the print function on Photoshop does not work (sometimes it prints 800 pages of goop)

When I convert to a jpg, I then print the jpg from Acrobat and that works. However, sometime when I try to then save the original PSD file with the layers included, it gives me an error that that file path is corrupt. So I save as a different name. In this case I called it "REDUNDANT copy of Wedding Invitation.psd"

That file saved and I re-opened it just to be sure it worked. Then I was able to save it with the original title "Wedding Invitation.psd"

My fiance and I then went home. We reviewed the invitation and decided on some minor changes to the text. When I came to the office and opened the file, both the redundant and the original copy of the PSD file was flattened like a pancake into a single locked "backgroud" layer.

This is the closest thread I found to my issue. Am I the only one?

I have no answer, but have a few questions that might help you narrow problem down.

Is problem repeatable with the same file?  If so take this file to a college's machine and see if you get same result you see.  Use same OS version as Mavericks has a host of OS bugs affecting PS.

We have certainly seen other people with similar problems, but they were generally losing the entire file!  So, thinking about it, I can't remember an instance where partial corruption was loosing parts of the file.  We have also seen a lot of issues around Mavericks, but I am a Windows user so have not taken a lot of interest in those threads.

Mean while, save out to incremental file names every hour or so.  I always do this with big projects.  I also had the thought that Shadow Protect - which I use for back up - saves incremental backups every 15 minutes, and that I can apparently chose any point in time to retrieve a back up. I've never actully tried this though.

Are the lost layers the most recent work you have done on the document?  Can you correlate the lost layers with particular events?  Are you sure that the most recent saves worked at all, and that you are not looking at a previous save point?
