PhotoShop CS5 .psd file currpt/not open :( my lots hard work

Hi Friends,

Today Accidentally my photoshop has closed at that time i am working on my demo template work from last 2 months, so again i open my .psd file thier is error prompt “could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop”.

Several time i try but it can’t open my .psd file. if anyone face this type problem or have any solution to solve this i will be very thankful to you, of-course its my two months hard work.

Thanks

Man I feel your pain

I’ve switched to a Mac for about 6 months now and the PS crashes stopped and if they occur I still may be able to recover some work using the time machine.

I can’t tell you how to recover your work I’m afraid, what I can tell you is to try and find a hourly backup solution to prevent these situations from happening in the future.

Best of luck

Have you tried to use 1 of the psd recovery tools floating around on the net? Like this one posted on deviantart : http://news.deviantart.com/article/35508/

I dont want to sound rude, but where is your backup?

The error message sounds like you are opening a version of PSD file that’s saved optimized for the later version (i.e. file containing features that are only supported by the later versions) from an earlier version of Photoshop. It doesn’t say file corrupt, does it? I suggest you to try opening the file from an older version of Photoshop from a different PC, if possible.

I learned this the hard way: back up-back up-back up!

Good luck on your file

I had the same problem and there was now way for me to recover it…. I had to do all the work again but next time with 100 back-ups.
