Help! I had at least a dozen layers in progress when I saved the file at the end of the day's work yesterday. I saved it as a PSD file, just as I always do. But when I opened it this morning, all it has is one background layer with all my work merged together!! 1) Is there any way to get my layers back? 2) what could I have done to cause this to happen?
Save as layers is no longer required in the save dialogue as the standard Save As formats automatically save with layers intact and PDF now saves as a copy i.e. it does not destroy the original format. This is a safer soloution to the original issue than many that were discussed here.

Edit - since posting this reply in September, the original issue was re-introduced when the version with legacy Save As was released. So once again after saving as PDF you can lose your layers in your next save to PSD if you did not preserve editing capabilities in your PDF save. Save a Copy will allow you to recheck 'layers'
