About Photoshop files
The most common Photoshop files are PSD and PDD. PSD files are layered image files and hence generally complex in nature. It contains a header with metadata of the entire file, followed by multiple sections containing actual data. So, if the header file or any of the sections containing actual data is corrupt, the file cannot be opened. Because of the complexity of the file, chances of corruption in these files are high.
Reasons for PSD file corruption
System crash when working on a PSD file is one of the main reasons for corruption of these files. Editing PSD files directly on storage devices or compressing these files are other reasons for corruption. Suppose you are working on creating a collage or working on a file in Photoshop, the PSD file may become corrupt if the system crashes suddenly. This happens because data is not written to the disk or the disk got overwritten by random data when system lost power. When this happens, Photoshop cannot open the file.
Manual Method
Adobe provides a Restore previous session to retrieve your files in case of system or Photoshop crash. This method works only when the PSD files are slightly damaged
- Right-click on the corrupt PSD file and select Restore previous versions
- Click an earlier version of the file and select Restore
- Confirm your choice and open the restored PSD file again
- Check all the layers and save the file as a new PSD file
If your file cannot be repaired using manual restore previous session method, you need a professional tool to fix your file.
