I cant recover psd file

i was working on a photoshop file when it began lagging. i saved the file, then shut down my computer. once i turned my computer back on i opened up the photoshop file i had been working on. And i saw this:
i know that "A large file may take some time to completely "Save" and the progress of the save is in percentage is shown until the save is completed. If you truncate the save, the file gets corrupted." And i wait until the save is completed and shut down my computer.
i check that folder ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/AutoRecover......it was empty.
And use some programms like "photoshop recover" but my file still corrupted.
File size still 176mb. Work in Photoshop sc6
Please help me!

There is a Help page
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/file-recovery-photoshop.html
But we get asked this now and again, and while there are apps out there that claim to recover corrupted PSD files, I can't think of a single occasion when anyone has successfully recovered their lost work.
For what it's worth, as a direct result of reading these horror stories, most forum regulars now save large projects with different file names every half hour or so (as well as Ctrl s every 10 minutes)

Cant view PSD files !

I cant view PSD files I just get a blue icon, I also cant see the pic larger of course in preview. Is this normal!!! I have no trouble viewing PSD files in other graphic viewers not made by Adobe!! I can even view them in my explorer program (total commander). Surely you must be able to view PSD files in a program made by adobe or what is the point in using Bridge?!!!
I should say I am using Bridge CS5 and the psd file was made with photoshop CS5
OOOPS It was my fault the size limti I had set was too low, I increased this and now its fine.

The XMP thumbnail is probably what is getting used in this case. Even for images saved without Maximize Compatibility, the Ardfry PSD Codec can use the image in the XMP for the thumbnail if it's present. Recent versions of Photoshop allow you to choose whether to save a thumbnail image independently of whether or not Maximize Compatibility is set.
However, larger thumbnails and viewing a large image in the preview pane (as well as Windows Photo Viewer and Windows Media Center) are dependent on having the flattened image available. The same behavior is found with Preview on the Mac.
If any bit of your workflow is non-Adobe, then setting Maximize Compatibility is probably a good idea.

How do I recover .psd files

Is it possible to recover the original psd file if a cropped section has taken the name of the main image from which the section was cropped?
I clicked on SAVE not SAVE AS and of course the crop assumed the original file name....Is there any way back
I was using Photoshop CS2, XP Pro
Many thanks

Alternative solution:
>Open "My Computer" from your desktop. Double-click your hard drive.
>Open "Documents and Settings."
>Open the folder labeled with your user name.
>Open "Local Settings" followed by "Temp."
>Scroll down to the files beginning with "Photoshop" ("PS" for older Photoshop CS builds).
This will be followed by a series of letters and numbers.
>Double-click each "Photoshop" ("PS") temp file to open them in Photoshop CS. This is the only way to identify which temp file contains the project you wish to recover. Luckily, because when Photoshop shuts properly it deletes
its temp files, there should be no more than three or four.
>Select "Save As" from the "File" menu when you find the temp file you want. This will make the file permanent.
In case of unsuccessful these steps, third party solution

Help Recover PSD file

Hi,
I opened my PSD file this morning that I was working on the past few weeks & was shocked to see this instead. I have restarted the photoshop but still the file comes out like that. Can someone please explain what happened to my file & help me recover it?
Thanks!

This is something you could try to recover a JPG from the PSD
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
<hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
Start Bridge and select the PSD
From ExtendScript toolkit run the code F5 or (Debug - Run)
It will then try to extract the fullsize cache thumbnail if that isn't there it will try to get the next size (preview) and write the jpg
to the desktop with a filename of "recovered.jpg"
#target bridge
function main(){
var thumb = app.document.selections[0];
var sourceBitmap = undefined;
//Try and get fullsized document.
sourceBitmap = thumb.core.fullsize.fullsize;
if( !sourceBitmap || sourceBitmap.width == undefined || sourceBitmap.width == 0 )
{ //No fullsize so try and get preview size
   sourceBitmap = thumb.core.preview.preview;
app.synchronousMode = false;
if( !sourceBitmap || sourceBitmap.width == undefined || sourceBitmap.width == 0 )
   alert("Sorry can't get cache pic");
            return;
var exportFile = new File( Folder.desktop + "/recovered.jpg" );
sourceBitmap.exportTo( exportFile, 100);
main();

Recovered .psd file won't open

I accidentally deleted some files (all different formats including .psd), I managed to get these files back using Disk Drill but unfortunately when I try to open the .psd files I get the error message: "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." This is pretty weird because I created the files using this version, I have also tried opening them in different versions of Photoshop and none can open them.
Any ideas? These are important files for work so any help is much appreciated

Clean install of Mt. Lion and i cant recover any files from time machine

I did a clean install erasing my hard drive. I have been running time machine to a time capsule for the last 3 years. I tried migration, it wont bring anything over. I tried opening mail then opening time machine and finding a back up point, it wont let me restore. Does anything on a mac ever work. I have been using this thing for 4 years and its always a major ordeal to get anything to do what it is supposed to. I need my old inbox as well as sent emails and have no way to recover them.
Before i did this whole install I backed up the mbox files individually on a usb drive. I can recover the inbox but if i import the sent files, they all have me as the recipient.

PSD File Not Opening - Error When Opening

Hi there! I have been working on this PSD file for a long time... it's a design for my organization's next website.
Now recently I went to open up the file and got this error (images... shows what happens when I click ok at each popup).
I have tried anything I could find online on recovering PSD files and all that, but no luck. Now one thing though that did stand out for me was that when I go to File - Open, the preview of the file when I last edited does show up.
Does this mean there is hope and a way to fix this file? I REALLY need the file up and running.
I would greatly appreciate any help. Also I will be more than happy to send the file to anyone who could repair it for me.
Thanks!

Does this mean there is hope and a way to fix this file?
No. If it is a persistent thumbnail in the file, it is a separate data chunk and this does in no way imply that while this partt is intact, other parts would be.
I REALLY need the file up and running.
You know, people use versioning/ incremental saving and backup copies so they can always go one version back and avoid such problems. I just need to look at your file opening dialog and get nightmares. Work files don't belong unorganized on your desktop. They go into an individual folder on a separate partition/ drive and then you save a new version with every siginificant step. I mean, you could have accidentally deleted the file while cleaning up your desktop and then what? Really, you need to work on the fundamentals here and straighten out your workflow. Other than that it's probably more effective to simply re-create the file from scratch instead of wasting time trying to find a fix for something that very likely can't bve fixed at this point...

How can I recover an overwritten PSD file?

I was working on an image which is supposed to have many layers in it, I merged the layers and I supposed to save it as a JPG file, but I didn't. I accidentally save it as PSD with the same file name, and I turned off the application. Now, I couldn't edit the file, coz all the layers are been merged. Could someone teach me where can I find its backup, or teach me how to recover the old PSD file? Thanks...

how to recover the old PSD file?
No way. You have overwritten it, which is something different than doing an "undelete" on an accidentalyl deleted file - your data is occupying the same space on the harddrive now and anything that was there before is now gone.
Could someone teach me where can I find its backup
There is none, as obviously you did not do any incremental saves and file versions. Well, you now have learned this the hard way...

Is there a way to recover corrupted psd. files?

I recently transferred all my work from a work computer to my mac at home. i am unable to access my work computer until October as we are having a 'break'. However, I have a deadline for September 15th and I need all my files.
Some older files open perfectly fine but I fear there was a problem in downloading-perhaps due to my haste to leave and enjoy the beautiful weather!
I tried downloading a Remo Repair software but unfortunately this was unable to launch. Is there program out there that you would recommend in this instance for me to recover my psd files-which are of great importance!
Any help would be appreciated
Basic notes:
Created on Windows computer cs5
Trying to open on Mac cs5
Sd card used to transfer-couldn't eject, this may be the problem

It is most difficult to recover a corrupted file. Many have tried but almost all end up in failure. Try opening in another program. IF you can then "save as" and you can probably open in PS.
Do you have a backup? Do you still have original files on Win computer? These are your best bets. It is too late for these files, but I think you can see the necessity of having a backup on a separate HD or even on a disk.

See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after. As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

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).
