My .psd file was crashed after a blackout

Hi,
I was working on a .psd file (opened in PaintTool SAI) when there was a blackout so my laptop was crashed. When I opened it an hour later, the .psd file was ruined; all layers flattened to one black background layer; and no matter how many programs I tried to open the file, it's still the same black image.
Is there any possible way to recover my .psd file before it was crashed?

Do you have a backup strategy?  In other words, do you have a process that makes copies of your work - e.g., every night - to another location.
You don't usually need extra software to do this, but it's surprising how many people just don't bother setting up backup, and now you know a situation in which it could have helped.

  • No new PSD file in Lightroom after Edit in Photoshop

    As usual, I send a NEF from LR 5.6 to Photoshop CC2014 (ProPhoto RGB) but a new PSD shows up in LR after saving/closing in PS? (Mac)

    Lightroom works in a completely different way than Photoshop or other pixel editing programs. In order for you to edit that PSD file has to be imported into the Lightroom catalog. It might be to your advantage to just use Photoshop, if you have it, because understanding how Lightroom works is essential in order for you to be effective.
    If the PSD file has a text layer, you will not be able to access It separately using Lightroom. Lightroom does not use layers, and you cannot work with text like you do in Photoshop. I just believe, based on what you have told us, that Lightroom is probably not a good choice for this particular project.

  • All my .psd files are corrupt after a pc restart...

    What the hell?!?! What could have caused it and is there any chance I can restore anything ... Everything on my pc seems ok but the psd files ...
    "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document."
    This is what I get
    I am using Photoshop CC on Windows 7

    It sounds unlikely that multiple PSD files have become corrupted.  My first thought when seeing the thread title was a bad Windows FAT (File Allocation Table) but even that sounds unlikely to only affect PSD files.  So I'd be looking at the common denominator, which is Photoshop.  Have you tried creating a new document, and saving and reopening?
    I think I'd try opening the files with another app like Irfanview, or just reinstalling Photoshop.  Do you have the files backed up?

  • PSD file looks blurry after render

    Hey all,
    I've got a PSD logo (CS2) with an alpha channel. I'm dropping it on top of video (DV NTSC) with a Magic Bullet filter applied to the video. The PSD file looks crisp on the computer monitor until I render. Then it looks like I've applied a gaussian blur to the PSD file. I'm not working with an NTSC monitor so I'm not sure what's going to happen when I print to video. What's causing this?

    The codec you are working with. A nice sharp image, when rendered in the DV codec, for example, will get VERY soft.
    But you need an NTSC monitor to really see what it looks like.

  • File Explorer crash after Try Again regarding permissions when cut/paste folder

    This happens for me every time I've tried it.
    File Explorer crashes when performing a cut/paste operation from a
    network shared folder that doesn't have permissions to delete the
    folder/files.
    In a homegroup sharing situation, with a folder tree shared for the
    homegroup members to read, if I use File Explorer to cut/paste a
    sub-folder of the remote shared folder to a local drive, I initially
    get a prompt to Try Again
    "Folder Access Denied
    You need permission to perform this action
    You require permission from machinename\username to make changes to
    this folder
    FolderName
    Type: File folder
    Date modified: the modified date
    Try Again/Cancel
     ...and when I choose try again, Explorer crashes.
    Can anyone else repro this?
    Dave

    >Have you done all the usual things like looking in event viewer
    Yes, I submitted the event with my bug report (using the awful
    feedback tool which lost my entered text every time I reproduced the
    problem).
    Have you (or anyone else) tried to repro it using the information I
    gave?

  • Problem with Write To Measurement File Express VI not writing to file if file was deleted after the first call (7.1)

    I'm using the Express Write to LabVIEW Measurement File in LV7.1.
    I have it set to "Save to one file"  and have tried both "Overwrite file" and "Using next available file name" for the "If a file already exists" conditions.
    The path/filename is passed into the function.
    It works fine the first time around.  If the file is deleted before the function is called again, an error occurs since LV is unable to find the file.
    I have had to stop and re-run my program in order to write to use the function again.
    Since I am able to delete the file I assume it was closed but it seems like LV expects it to be there, even though the function was supposed to create/open/close the file...  Is there any way to reset this without stopping/restarting the program?
    Since my application creates several files (only one using the Express VI) I am checking for the filenames and requiring that they be deleted (or a new filename be used) before acquiring data.  Everything has worked great, except for the Express VI.
    Thank you,
    David

    Ok, I've edited the VI you posted to reproduce my error (this time with 8.0). 
    I added a "master stop" and "start log" button.  To demonstrate my problem:
    1.  Run the VI
    2.  Click "START LOGGING" - c:\test.txt is created
    3.  Click "STOP" - c:\test.txt is closed
    4.  Delete the file c:\test.txt with Windows shell or explorer
    5.  Click "START LGGING" - a new c:\test.txt file should be created but instead an error is raised in the Write LabVIEW Measurement File function.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • After Effects CC freezes when importing PSD files

    Version 12.2.1 of after Effects no longer imports Photoshop's PSD files (Photoshop 14.2.1 x64).
    The last project I worked on was on 7th March 2014.  Today is the 28th March 2014.  What could have happened in the intervening three weeks I wonder? 
    An update to AE I'm guessing...
    Is this a known problem?
    Is there a fix?
    How do I report this to Adobe?
    Thanks in anticipation.
    James

    Hi Rick,
    I made sure the images are RGB, but I don't know what simple means. Nor do I know how to make them the same size as the comp (composition?). I saved the images as Tif and PNGs and they imported without crashing. I literally have just opened to the first chapter of After Effects: Classroom in a Book, so please bear with me.
    When I first imported a Photoshop file, AE crashed with this alert:
    After Effects Alert
    Last log message was: <140735304074000>
    <SyncService> <4> CheckConnection: 3.
    Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes.
    (Updated errors below)
    As I mentioned, I'm following the instructions for lesson 1 in the Adobe book, After Effects CC: Classroom in a Book. The first few steps are to import a group of files. I import the footage files first, then when I try the .psd file, AE crashes.
    Here are my specs:
    AE CC 2014 Version 13.0.2.3
    OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    iMac 21" late 2009
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    12 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB (I installed the CUDA driver on another account of this iMac--should only need to be done once, no matter whose account, right?)
    Connected over wifi to a Belkin router.
    UPDATE:
    I switched my wifi connection to the 5 GHz band and tried again (since some online searches seemed to indicate this error message had to do with TCP) and got a new error when trying to import the .psd file:
    <ALOG> <5> PSL AE Interface Cache Cache
    created: /Users/[myname]/Documents/Lesson01/Assets/bgwtext.psd.
    UPDATE:
    Switched to ethernet, got the same <ALOG> <5> PSL message, switched back to 2.4 GHz wifi and still get the same message. I cannot replicate the first SyncService error message.
    The Adobe Creative Cloud is connected to the Internet and can download other Adobe applications, however Photoshop Elements 6 shows a "No Internet connection" message when I try to update it. Adobe Acrobat Reader updates fine. I have also tried to import the file in with Root enabled, but to no avail.

  • Saved PSD files show up as small thumbnails oinly in Bridge

    Ive been working on some photos in ACR/CS2 and a strange thing happened. After working on raw files I save them in a separate working folder as psd files. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my PSD files are showing up in Bridge as tiny thumbnails. This just started happening in the middle of working on a folder of raw files. The first few were fine and then the saved files began showing up as thumbnails.
    Moving the slider to make them bigger doesnt do anything. I can make all the files smaller by moving the slider to the left, but moving to the right only makes the files thumbnail size. Very weird. This problem seems limited to Bridge. In PS they look fine. Ive even checked their file size and that looks fine. Ive closed and reopened Bridge, but that had no affect.
    I cleared ACR preferences and purged the folder; that brought back some files but then others became small. Also when working on new files, the first few were again OK and then again files became thumbnail size in Bridge. I can open the files, save them to another folder and then copy them to the original folder, over writing the old, thumbnail size folder. I suspect all this has to do with cache and some setting, but I can't figure out the random nature of all this.

    Actually I found the problem... under Bridge preferences, check to see if the "do not process files larger than ____MB" is less than the PSD file size.... i.e. my psd file was 229.24mb and my limit was set at 200mb... then once you change this go to cache settings and purge, it will reset the thumbnails and clear the small view issue.

  • I can't drag a png file onto a psd file in PSE 10 editor

    After using PSE 3 for years, I have recently installed PSE 10 and have begun using it primarily for making digital scrapbooks.  With PSE 10, for some reason I cannot drag a png file onto a psd file.  I probably have missed some setting somewhere but can't figure it out.  Help, please!

    It is transparent.  However, it seems the problem is fixed.  I am able to
    drag the top layer of the psd file onto the png file instead of the opposite
    which is what I was trying to do.  The top layer of the psd file was
    originally a jpg photo so maybe that has something to do with it.  In my
    previous version of PSE I worked with PNG and PSD files all the time and
    don't remember having this problem.  Thanks so much for all of your prompt
    replies.

  • My compiled program crashes after first run (LabVIEW 2009)

    I have a compiled program created with LabVIEW 2009 that on the first run after the computer is re-booted will work fine but after shutting down the program it will not run properly. 
    The program uses a compiled launcher to dynamically activate a set of VI's containing Queue Driven State Machines (QDSM).  On subsequent program starts the launcher module comes up fine and its progress bar shows that it is launching each of the VI's.  Once the launcher is complete it removes itself from memory leaving the dynamically launched VI's running.  The subsequent launches which fail the main user interface VI pops up barely long enough for the observer to see (if at all) then shuts down.  The program is then gone from memory as far as I can tell.  There are no processes in memory or anything.
    Additionally, the when I try to run the installed version of the exe on a computer that has the 2009 development environment installed I get this behavior consistently with a successful run even once.
    In both cases my program does not throw any errors (which are logged) nor does the runtime engine generate any that I can see.  Also, when I run my program in the development environment the program does not behave this way.  It has no problems at all.
    I have used this style of architecture before in LV8.6 with out any problems.  Can anyone suggest some possible solutions or even some debugging tips?  I have never had a problem that I could not duplicate in the development environment so I am unsure how begin attacking my issue.
    Thanks for any help.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have solved the problem I think (at least as far as testing to this point has revealed).   After I added in the ability to log the states passed to the QDSM's, I was able to determine that the program was "crashing" after I dynamically closed the front panel of the launcher.  My program was designed to close the front panel of the launcher then pop-up the front panel of the main UI.   My EXE is built on to contain the launcher with my other QDSM files being maintained externally in specific directories.  What appeared to be happening is that when the launcher closed its front panel and before the UI opened up the run-time engine would decide since there were no windows open it would close itself down.  This is my supposition about what may be happening any way.  I modified my code to changed the launcher window to hidden and delay for 1/2 a second to give the main UI a chance to start fully running.  This fixed the problem, or at least worked around it.  If someone out there can explain to me exactly what is happening I sure would appreciate it.
    Thanks for all the help those of you who responded.  Your advice was very beneficial and certainly led me to a resolution faster.

  • 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.

  • PSD file deleted mid-save

    I've had this occur twice now in the last 24 hours:
    Upon editing a large PSD file (1.2gb) and starting a save, photoshop hung and was not responding for over 20 minutes.
    I cancelled the save, and later closed the file.
    The PSD file was then deleted entirely, I discovered.
    It also no longer appeared in the recent documents list.
    As a note, I am saving the files to a network drive and have no trouble with other files at the moment.
    I am using 5.1.
    Any reason behind this, any way to recover the PSD?

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Crashes after Leopard install

    Hey gang. Here's the scenario. I have installed a 3rd internal hard drive to my Power Mac G4 AGP series Mac. It is running off a new Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA controller card. After a lot trouble just trying to get Leopard to "see" the new drive as an option to install it on, it FINALLY has! I had to install some older firmware from Sonnet that helped to do so. SO, it installed Leopard onto my new Seagate 500gig drive but when it says to reboot to continue, it starts rebooting and then just suddenly shuts completely down...like a complete failure or something. I re-installed and still the same thing. Any thoughts?
    you guys have helped me get this far, hopefully we can finally break through to the other side!! Allllmost there! : )

    Well, it seems that the main problem was with the firmware from the new Sonnet PCI controller card. After talking to a rep, they said many PowerMac G4 users had better luck with Leopard using the an older version of firmware. 5.1.3 instead of 5.3.1. But before I found all that out I had cloned the partition that was running my current OSX (10.3.9) to the new Seagate 500gig drive in hopes that I would be able to install Leopard after doing so but it wasn't until installing the older firmware that I was able to actually install Leopard onto the drive. The problem was that it was crashing after installation when I would reboot. I wiped the "clone" off of the new Seagate, re-initialized the drive and it worked fine after that! So apparently, something did not like the cloning even though it "installation was successful". Don't know if that helps but I hope so. thanks again for all of your help!
