.psd file corrupted!

[jordanm65450054]

Hello,

I wanted to continue working on a painting in Photoshop, but when I opened the .psd it only showed one layer called Background, and  the whole layer was black with red stripes all over it. I don't know what happened to it, I always make sure to safely close Photoshop so that no progress is lost, and I did so this time but now all of my progress is gone. Does anyone know what i can do to fix this? I use Photoshop CC(2017) on windows 10

thank you an advance.

Hi,

It is very upsetting and frustrating when this happens. If you do not have a backed up of this file there is not much that can be done.

I would advise using a reputable online backup service so you can back up file daily or multiple times a day if you wish.

Thanks,

Sim

Unfortunately, Simmer is right. Make sure to save backups in different locations. When I first started using Photoshop, I lost several documents from corruption like this. I searched everywhere and tried so many things to save it, but nothing could save them.

@Parth37378896wd86 I merged your duplicate post back to this thread. Posting multiple times won't change the answers given in this post. If you haven't saved this with a backup somewhere it is most likely damaged beyond repair.

@Parth37378896wd86 @jordanm65450054 to add to @Simmer1 's correct response - be sure to save local then drag your assets to an external drive or networked location. If you are directly saving to a remote/non-local destination you are increasing your chances of file corruption.
