I didn’t even save the file… and now I am all poofey eyed and have only a png of the file that I took using Jing to show a person on a forum. It was one of my most realistic from-scratches I’ve ever done. http://content.screencast.com/users/ashhassan/folders/Jing/media/1fa784c6-e783-43d3-acbc-3fd647f00a4f/2011-11-06_2009.png

I made it better after this… it was even more realistic…

well let me make a correction. file scavenger did find two Photoshop temp files, however if one of the files I saw was the temp file found earlier (I didn’t remember the numbers). Photoshop (even one that already crashed apparently) rewrites the temp file with 0 (zero) bytes then deletes it. SO even if this would work it would have to be a serious enough crash that it did not over write and delete the temp file.

Photoshop crashed while saving but I didn’t click close program I looked for the tmp file, so I did find it. Found temp file here (Windows XP)C:\Documents and Settings\*YourUserName*\Local Settings\Temp there it was 538MB. ~ps5467.tmp however it said it was in use so I could not copy it or rename it. To make things worse the instant I tell Photoshop to not send error report, it disappears. So I use file scavenger to look for the deleted file and it is not there! maybe if I did a CTRL/ALT/DEL and ended the task maybe the .tmp would of stayed? So, unable to verify if this would work or not. P.S. Local Settings is a hidden system folder

Hi!

I need emergency help here ;_;

I have windows 7 with Photoshop 5

I was drawing on my tablet in program called SAI,I just saved my work in PSD, went and added few more ‘dots’ on it,then saved it again so I can get out of the program,but whole computer froze and I waited for atleast 5-7 min but it wouldn’t unfreeze itself so I manually restarted it. When I turned it on and went to check on my file, it wouldn’t want to open in neither of the programs I have! Every program kept saying: ‘ Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document.’

I searched for it in Temp files,but no luck!
It still has it size of 4,02 MB
Changing extension in .png or .tiff doesn’t work either! I really have no more ideas! I even tried downloading few different programs that are supposed to repair psd files,but no luck there either,they kept saying there is nothing to repair…

Please help me,I’ve been doing this piece whole day, and it’s one of my best works ever,I really don’t want to loose it…

What happens if you haven’t even saved the file yet?
Can that file even be recovered?
I tried open as. I tried .psd I tried .tif. no joy.

For those asking where the temp files are stored…
on my Vista Home Crapium 64bit I finally found many Gigs of them here…
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp

ah well… back to work…

My PC was running really slow so I saved my psd file. The thing is my pc crashed and when i try to open the file again it said: Could not complete your request because of an unexpected end-of-file was encountered Photoshop.
I tri the .tmp file thing but i dont have one…
WHAT CAN I DO???
I really need the file, it took me two days to do it and I dont have enought time!

PLEASE!!!! Answer me soon. Im desperate!!!
