File corrupted.... all layer merged in one! it's all black!!!

Hi to everybody
i need an help!!!
While i was working on Photosop, the pc is gone freeze... and i had to reset it holding power button!
After the restart my file was completely black! The size is 188Mb .... but all layer are merged in one...black!
In photoshop browser i can see the preview of the file....but when i open it... ... ..nothing!!!
Can someone help me? pleaseeeeee!!!!

Exactly what were you doing when your PC froze? Were you in the process of saving your file?
You should check your Windows logs ASAP on the chance that your computer itself is failing, before trying to do any more work with it!
I'm sorry to say that based on what you've written, chances are your Photoshop work on that project is gone for good.  There is usually no recovery.
This is why people do File - Save fairly often, and into multiple different files during long projects, when running Photoshop.
However, you *may* be able to get back a flattened version, depending on how you have the compatibility option set for saving your PSDs, by using a program like IrfanView to open the flattened composite in the PSD file.  It's worth a try.

  • When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

    When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
    i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Indesign CS3 - Changing file from all black to a pantone color

    Is there an easy way to change an all black file to a specific pantone color in Indesign CS3? I've ran into this plenty of times after setting up an all black job and then the customer decides they want to see on the laser printer what it would look like in a specific pantone color. I've always had to go into each photo and text block separately to do this.

    One way is to build jobs like this using a custom black ink defined as CMYK 0,0,0,100 and then all you should have to do for all elements created in IND is delete the black spot and substitute with your new spot.
    Check with your printer, but in general they'll almost certainly prefer a black file to a "spot" file. So if this is just one page you can always kick out a quick PDF, rasterize in PS and place into IND, painted as the new spot. I've never been burned with this workflow, but understand that the client signs off on a proof that is a couple steps away from the file that will go to press.
    I'm sure you can also export to PDF and use Acrobat's convert color utility to get what you want, but I wouldn't know how to go about it. [ed] And fiddled, and still couldn't figure it out.

  • Aperture Displays PSD Files as All Black

    Hi,
    I've followed the instructions to set up the preferences in Photoshop to maximize compatibility (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302624), but when I import the PSD files into Aperture, they aren't displayed properly - they are just shown as black. I took some screenshots here:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/41768092@N00/2763865123/in/set-72157606737164795/
    1. PSD files just shown as black
    2. But the Quick Preview displays the big picture correctly (but not the thumbnails)
    3. The Loupe also shows it almost correctly.
    Does anyone know what might be causing these PSD files to not display properly?

    The only PSD bug that I am aware of is one that I have been wrestling with Apple over since leopard was released. It may be effecting you here but maybe not. If you have a saved alpha channel (selection) of any kind it will screw up the display everywhere in leopard including Aperture. Check to see if this what maybe doing this to you. If it is hit the thread back and I will describe my workaround. If not ?

  • File corruption on SDCard when multiple files are being written from WinCE 6.0R3

    We currently have file corruption problems which we have been able to reproduce on our system which uses WinCE 6.0R3. We have an SDCard in our system which is mounted as the root FS.  When multiple files are being written to the file system we occasionally
    see file corruption with data destined from one file, ending up in another file, or in another location in the same file.  We have already written test SW that we have been able to use to reproduce the problem, and have worked with the SDCard vendor to
    check that the memory controller on the card is not the source of the problems.
    We know that the data we send to WriteFile() is correct, and that the data which eventually gets sent through the SDCard driver to the SD card is already corrupted.
    We believe that the problem is somewhere in the microsoft private sources between the high level filesystem API calls and the low level device calls that get the data onto the HW.
    We have confirmed that the cards that get corrupted are all good and this is not a case ofpoor quality flash memory in the cards. The same cards that fail under WinCE 6.0R3 never fail under the same types of testing on Windows, Mac OX, or linux.  We
    can hammer the cards with single files writes over and over, but as soon as multiple threads are writing multiple files it is only a matter of time before a corruption occurs.
    One of the big problems is that we are using the sqlcompact DB for storing some data and this DB uses a cache which get's flushed on it's own schedule. Often the DB gets corrupted because other files are being written when the DB decides to flush.
    So we can reproduce the error (with enough time), and we know that data into the windows CE stack of code is good, but it comes out to the SDcard driver corrupted.  We have tried to minimize writes to the file system, but so far we have not found a
    way to make sure only one file can be written at once. Is there a setting or an API call that we can make to force the OS into only allowing one file write at a time, or a way of seeing how the multiple files are managed in the private sources?
    Thanks
    Peter

    All QFE's have been applied we are building the image so we have some control.
    I have build an image which used the debug DLL's of the FATFS and I have enabled all of the DebugZones.  The problem is still happening. From the timings in the debug logs and the timestamps in the data which corrupts the test file I have been able
    to see that the file is corrupted AFTER the write is complete. Or at least that's how it seems.
    We finished writing the file and closed the handle. Then more data is written to other files. When we get around to verifying the file it now contains data from the files that were subsequently written.
    What I think I need to do is figure out in detail how the two files were "laid down" onto the SDCard.  If the system used the same cluster to write the 2 files then that would explain the issue.

  • Opened file all black

    when I try to open a file or document in safari on my mac 10.6 and then try to open it with Adobe Reader, I get the message, Adoby Reader could not open because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). Is there any solution to this problem? I have tried to send recommendations to universities with a pdf. or doc. file but when I open the school application the file appears all black.

  • I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the one PSD files by distorting the images and colour. Does anyone know how to recover the original images?

    I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the open PSD files by distorting the images and colour. They are now completely unrecognisable and unusable. Does anyone know how to recover the original images as I was saving them as I went along but the files are now corrupt?

    What version of Photoshop are you running?
    I've seen a couple of instances over the last week or two where Photoshop has added masks, strange colours and also merged content from two separate PSD files that were open at the same time.
    This has occurred on two different iMacs, (both 10.10.x) running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 (20141204.r.310 x64).
    see image below for example:

  • I am working on big project and in accidentally flatten the file and i saved it as PSD in then I exited Photoshop. the next time when i open the file it is merged on one page. please help!

    I am working on big project and in accidentally flatten the file and i saved it as PSD in then I exited Photoshop. the next time when i open the file it is merged on one page. please help!

    Flattening and merging are very similar. The main difference is merging keeps the transparent areas, whereas flattening removes all transparent areas by giving it a white background. A good example of flattening is a jpg image.
    Since you have closed the file by closing photoshop, that means that the history is now gone, no way of undoing.
    So that leaves you with two choices.
    You can either recreate the whole document.
    Or you can make selections of areas you are keeping and moving them one at a time to new layers. Keep each object on a separate layer. Then redo the area behind those objects.

  • My Office 2007 Word Files are all corrupted. Can't open any of them.

    I can create and open new 2007 Word files.  However, all my files prior to 10/27/2014 cannot be opened.  I get a corrupted message.  Says the file cannot be open because there are problems with the content.  Then asks me if I want to
    recover the content and when clicking yes, I get the same corrupted message.  Something happened on 10/27/2014.  I have three files in my Word directory that I did not create.  One is an Internet shortcut called "Install_TOR" which
    when accessed tries to bring up a site called paytordmbdekmizq.torpayusd.com'80314 but the Internet is unable to display the page.
    The other two files have the same content; one in HTML and one in text.  Both called Decrypt_Instruction.  The content is:
    What happened to your files ?
    All of your files were protected by a strong encryption with RSA-2048 using CryptoWall 2.0.
    More information about the encryption keys using RSA-2048 can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA (cryptosystem)  
    What does this mean ?
    This means that the structure and data within your files have been irrevocably changed, you will not be able to work with them, read them or see them,
    it is the same thing as losing them forever, but with our help, you can restore them.
    How did this happen ?
    Especially for you, on our server was generated the secret key pair RSA-2048 - public and private.
    All your files were encrypted with the public key, which has been transferred to your computer via the Internet.
    Decrypting of your files is only possible with the help of the private key and decrypt program, which is on our secret server.
    What do I do ?
    Alas, if you do not take the necessary measures for the specified time then the conditions for obtaining the private key will be changed.
    If you really value your data, then we suggest you do not waste valuable time searching for other solutions because they do not exist.

  • How to reverse a PSD file that's combined layers into one layer...

    Hi,
    I'm not quite sure what happened but I had a PSD file I was working on with multiple layers and then I saved a PDF of the file and I think I may of accidentally switched up the files somehow because now my PSD file's layers are all combined into one background layer. How do I undo this (somehow release all of the layers again into the file)? I need to send the PSD file with all of it's layers available for editing and I have no idea how to fix this.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
    ashmic19

    Unless you have a backup copy of the layered PSD, you can't. Once flattened and saved, you can never reconstruct the flattened layers, they are gone. Sorry...best is to save multiple copies so if this happens in the future you won't suffer this again.

  • Copy multi-layer artwork from one file to another; keep layers...

    I have an intricate drawing that has a portion I am drawing in a separate document. The layers in the second document do not exist in the destination document.
    Is there a way to copy and paste the art so that the objects are kept to their separate layers, and at the same time, create those layers in the destination document when pasting the vectors?

    Here is my approach when working with two files, lets say one is a base file, and from a separate file I have changes on layers, or multiple changes, (like varietys).Lets say there are 5 layers. I create another layer, (now there will be 6) call it "changes" lets say in the file with all the other 5 layers.
    In Layer pallette, I drag all 5 layers into the 6 layer, they then become sublayers. Then I copy that 6 layer "changes" (with all 5 layers as sublayers) into my base file.
    Now I can pull them out and re stack, rename or what have you.
    What is cool in working like this if you select the enveloping layer by the "button" you can turn off sub layers and still move everything as a group if you need to position. Example of this would be a die on one layer and a background image on another. With the 'enveloping" layer selected you could turn off the image "sub" layer and by keeping the die layer on you could align by the die and once in postion, turn on the image sub layer.
    hope this helps,
    good luck

  • Lightroom 4 won't export all my files and doesn't notify which ones it didn't

    I have a large library and one day i wanted to make sure that none of the files were corupt so I thought of an idea to export my entire library to see if i get a notification if any of my files didn't export. I could then check on those files to see whats wrong. But trying to export that many images caused lightroom to crash so I exported by year instead. Some years were fine, but others like 2011 for example, out of 13906 images, only 9824 exported. I would be ok with that if lightroom notified me which images didn't export. Normaly, when i try to export images that are ofline, lightroom will tell me which ones didn't export and say that they can't be found. How am i supposed to find those 4000 images that didnt export if i don't know what there file names are? I tried exporting the previews as a catalog and all 13906 exported fine. I updated my dng previews and I even genereated new standard sized previews as well. I also ckecked for missing images under Library/Find Missing Photos, and there were none missing. Here are the type of files i was trying to export: DNG: 13017, jpeg: 9, PSD: 61, TIFF: 819. None were videos.
    Please Help!

    Thanks for your reply. I don't necesarily think I have corrupt files, but i want o make sure i don't so that when i do a back up, the corupt file doesn't replace the good ones on my backup drive. I have over 100,000 images in my library and there is absolutely no way that i am going to scroll through all of those to look for an exclamation point. I wish lightroom could scan my whole library for any questionalable files.
    I have tried to export known corrupt files where I could see an exclamation point or a large purples band, or both, and they don't export. Thats why i wanted to export my whole library to see if i can find any of those. But lightroom notifies me when they cant export. I don't know why it doenst say anyting now. Im glad you mentioned about the stacking, i didn't know about that, however, i don't used stacking, so that is not the issue. There might be 10 or 20 that i accidentally stacked, but not 4000.

  • ALL Files corrupted including (JPG's and Photoshop 6)on Hard drive w/ OS9

    I am new to this forum as of now; so I hope i can ask the right way!
    I have(HAD) a iMac G3 DV slot with 10GB hard drive(Running only OS 9.2.2)- That i had to take in for repair (turned out to be bad video card or something) - BUT: The repairman corrupted ALL my files!!! (That iMac is gone now- but i have the left over drive(laying here for 2 years or so now) with MANY original photos - Before I had any other external drives or other Mac's to back up on) I can see the directory and open folders but the applications like Photoshop CAN NOT recognize a simple JPG or PSD or anyother file.
    How i know this is: I (finally could) put the hard drive inside my (new) POWERMAC G4 MDD and tried to access Norton Disk DR to repair files, but it would not work I guess because OS X tiger overrides OS 9 classic/ BUT the hard drive itself is apparently fully functional and could be reformatted and used. (NOTE:I did get a replacement iMac G3 DV model with new hard drive)
    I have tried everything and i have searched online for answers( til I am literally blue in the face!)
    I am at a brick wall.
    the only thing I think I could try is; take apart my old FUNCTIONAL iMac G3 and stick in the corrupted hard drive and try to boot up from the NORTON SYSTEM WORKS Disc for OS 9 and run Disk DR.
    - Taking apart the machine seems like a bunch of risky work, but my files are UNREABLE and therefore unusable - lost.
    does any one have any ideas? and is swapping hard drives and trying to boot up with Norton worth it?

    Richard:
    *_This sounds logical about using the firewire to send the drive info to the iMac. The only part i think I will still have problem with is STARTING UP IN TARGET MODE_*.
    That was one of those issues i ran into with trying to get the old disk to run while _in MDD_.
    I also checked my software box and i _was mistaked about what software came with_ my Compact Flash cards; it is just for memory cards recovery. and it was Not DR II_.
    i tried to email you: but truthfully i do not know how these forums work too much. and i have a big wiggly cat tring to take over my keyboard as i speak!
    *My question first;* *is HOW CAN I GET A START UP IN TARGET MODE ( OR WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IF I HAVE A OS9 HD INSIDE THAT IS ILL?)
    _I GET THE IDEA OF USING THE IMAC AS A HOST FOR THAT ILL DRIVE_. BUT FROM ALL THAT HOURS AND HOURS OF WORK I DID FROM THIS MDD MACHINE _I QUESTION IF "I" AM CAPABLE OF CONTROLING THE MACHINE TO DO WHAT YOU SUGGESTED....?_ with TRAGET mode start up?
    if you have any hints to help me "get it", i think (along with this cat here) we can give a good effort!
    Also, I will check into the free part of Data Rescue II, and see if that can be used.
    I want to try this before any SURGURY!!
    *AND yes you are sure right about the "NORTON FOUND ERROR" and "MACHINE IS QUITTING NOW" thing, that stonewalled me in sorts while i was trying to use it on this MDD, but the other man(JEFF) said i could not use CLASSIC MODE with my Norton OS 9 program anyway. but I hacked at it for long enough!
    THANKS So much.
    I will take it one thing at a time at this point. everyone is being great with this info!
    I think us MAC folks are great anyway.
    **I saw on CNN tonight that in the amount of emails sent every day - 2 million per second are sent and 70% is spam and virus. THAT IS the WIndows OS world for you. the spam i understand to a point, they're selling some crap. but virus activity is well; counter productive and I have things to do that are productive. (confession; i do have a cheap, windows xp laptop too)
    -- SO IN MY QUEST FOR HELP HERE: THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE reached out to me so far (and I appologise for my lack of OS X knowledge) it hasn't helped i have been feeling ill myself! but i try to keep at it.
