Photoshop file opens with just black background

My computer was running out of scratch disk so saved file and closed to clean up some space, when I opened the document again its just the background layer which is black. The file is the correct size, 559Mb as its a 16bit layered file, but the layers have all gone. I create a file the same size etc and that saves as 2.68mb so there is information in the corrupt file.
I did not collapse the file, saved and closed Photoshop the same as I do every time.
It's not a graphics issue as the other files I have been working on all load as they should.
This is a bit of a concern, Photoshop corrupting a file on save losing me a couple of hours of work.
Is there anyway to recover the file?
Thanks for any help.

Hi, tried that, no luck. Also if that was the case surely all my files would no longer open, currently it is just 2 files that have become corrupt.
Still very worrying, never had this until updating to 2014 CC

  • If I open Muse from my dock (grey/silver look), it looks different than if I double click on an existing muse site (opens with a black background and different layout)... are they still the same versions?

    Anyone know if these are the same versions or different? and why does this happen?

    The one on your dock is an old version. The darker version of Muse is the newer version. Replace your icon on your dock with the newer one.

  • When I drag or copy a selection from Photoshop 8.0 into Powerpoint the selection always appears in Powerpoint with a black background.

    When I drag or copy a selection from Photoshop 8.0 into Powerpoint the selection always appears in Powerpoint with a black background.. How can I prevent this?

    Photoshop doesn't have a way of copying a selection, only the contents of that selection. You can save and load selections, but these are really just channels. As such, selections are essentially just black and white information. So I'm not sure what you are seeing in Photoshop when you make your copy, but PowerPoint should just get the information that you see. Screen shots of both Photoshop and PowerPoint may help though.

  • Flare in a Grey color with the black background

    Hi:
    I just need to fix this problem and can't find a solution.
    Why I'm getting a grey Flare when I open it with a black background, but it's in color when I open it in a white background?
    I know that flare works better with a black background, but for any reason it looks grey and it's hard to create effects.
    Can anybody help me? please. I'll appreciate it.
    Thanks

    This is very exciting you are the third person to post a qquestion about the flare tool since I can remenber and I can remember before the falre tool existed.
    You need to have the flare effect behind an object to get the full impact so you would put it behind a black object or a colored object. If you place it on a white back ground you only se the actual construction of the device before it has the effect which has to be applied to an object.
    So how do you get a white object to show the effect since does not work with a white object?
    Interesting that you asked you apply it say to a black object instead. You say what? that is the opposite of what i want?
    Abraccadabra!
    you open it with Photshop as a Smart Object that keeps it a live ai file which can be update and the changes will be reflected in the photoshop file.
    You then go to layers>Adjustments>invert and that will make the color object white instead of black but will also ivert the colors of the flare
    but you can adjust those colors using Hue Saturation as an adjust manet layer
    then save as a psd file and place it in Illustrator as linked files, you will be able to adjust the smart object in ai save it then save the psd file and it will updated in the new illustrator file.
    Created in AI
    Placed in Photoshop as a smart object and given a Invert adjustment layer
    then I worked on the color with Hue Saturation adjustment layer you can acheive a lot more than I tried that way.

  • When sharing an email the background like corkboard is not there- just black background shows. How do I fix this?

    When sharing an email the background like corkboard is not there- just black background shows. How do I fix this?

    Check, if the backgrounds are installed correctly in the system library.
    Compare with your other two apples
    The corkboard pattern and other backgrounds should be found in
    /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Shared/Backgrounds/
    /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Assets/Email/
    /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Assets/Shared/Backgrounds/Cork/corktile.jpg
    To quickly open these folders select the complete line above, ctrl-click it (or right-click) and select "Services" from the pop-up menu. Then select "Open".
    Inspect the folder that opens and compare with your other mac, if all files are there and if the permissions are set correctly. Restore from your other mac, if necessary or reinstall iPhoto to restore.
    If all folders are there and missing theme files are not the problem, post back.

  • A 2nd copy of firefox opens with a black screen when opening Firefox

    After Firefox loads with the home pages, a second copy of Firefox also opens with one black screen. The black screen has the same url as the 1st tab in the 1st copy of Firefox, with one addition as follows:
    1st copy, 1st tab url: www.newsmax.com
    2nd copy (no tabs) url: www.newsmax.com/mainpop.htm
    I'm using Windows XP, sp3, and Firefox version 10.0.1.
    It does the same on another desktop with Windows 7, same Firefox version(10.0.1).

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • How change the File Open With list of apps?

    In Bridge CS3, how does one edit the list of applications in the File > Open With menu (also available from the contextual menu for any image).
    The list contains a number of applications that I would never use to open an image, and I would like to add to it, a new image editor (pixelmator) that does not appear in it. I have looked in the Bridge Help and the Preferences dialog and don't see any option to do this.

    OK, I have now learned that Mac OS keeps the list of which apps to open what, in the "launch services database."
    This database can be cleaned up and reset which somewhat simplifies the list that is displayed by the Finder OR by Bridge CS3.
    Here is an article on how to reset the launchdb:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486
    Be sure to read all the way to the end as there are updated instructions down among the comments.
    Here is a thread in the Apple Support forums discussing the same issue, and it includes links to some 3rd-party programs that can reset launch services without use of a lengthy Terminal command:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1289317
    Even after rebuilding the launchdb, I find that a large number of apps are "registered" to open JPG files, including Camino, Opera, TextWrangler and others with only a tenuous connection to JPG. I don't understand why this is, and I would still like to find a way to limit the JPG Open-With list to a few graphics programs. But cleaning up the launchdb as described in the linked pages, did get rid of some programs and added some missing ones.
    Hope this actually constructive info is useful to others.

  • When I'm editing a video on imovie, it opens with some black parts which are waging. How do I stop it?

    My imovie is with problem. When I'm editing a video, it opens with some black parts which are waging, then the macbook gets slow. The original clip of the event gets all in blue and when I close imovie, it remains loading and lock completely.

    i Founfd this exact behaviour with 1080p mivies on my machine. I redownloaded as 720p and all was fine. I think my computer is getting a little dated.
    If this is true for you then Select Preferences, Store and When downloading High Definition videos, prefer and select 720p. Then red donload form the Purchased link under Quick Links in iTunes Store

  • CC14, all files open with asterisk in file name.

    CC14, all files open with asterisk in file name, need to save or cancel to close file. Is there a way to change that?

    No. It happens to any InDesign file. I created a new file in CC14, saved, closed, opened and it had the asterisk.
    If it is a time synchronization, how do I correct that?
