I spent 5 hours working on this graphic project for work and just as I was to a point to save and get feedback Photoshop crashed. THe message just said. There is something wrong shutting down this program.
Now the work is gone and I cannot find it. I did not save the project. I was about to save it.
Sorry that Photoshop CS6 crashed and you can no longer access the file you were working on.
Photoshop saves a copy of your file in the background if auto-recovery is enabled in preferences. Did an auto-recovery file opened up when you launch Photoshop post the crash happened?
The lesson learned here: always save your work in steps and with different filenames (versions). You can't trust software not to crash. Do not rely on a software's automatic backup or auto-recovery feature. Those are last-line defense measures.
Save your work. Save often. Save many versions. And create backups on an internal and external drive.
