KiranF Jan 13, 2011 9:24 AM (in response to Paul Riggott)Thanks, I checked the link but unfortunately it doesn't work with my version which is CS5. I have googled the issue but haven't come down with any viable option. Please let me know if you find anything that could help the recovery. Thanks again!

Marian Driscoll Jan 13, 2011 9:36 AM (in response to KiranF)Use your back up file.
In absence of such, now would be a good time to set up a back-up. Time Machine makes it easy for the average user.

It got corrupted. Massively.
Either a hardware problem or you're working across a network.
I'm afraid that file is toast. Hope you're backed up.

5. Re: Help Recover PSD file
Paul Riggott Jan 13, 2011 10:31 AM (in response to KiranF)There is a script "BridgeExportToJpegCS4"
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1698306
This extracts the data from the Bridge cache, so it might be possible to recover a jpeg of the psd

6. Re: Help Recover PSD file
Paul Riggott Jan 13, 2011 12:23 PM (in response to KiranF)This is something you could try to recover a JPG from the PSD
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
<hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe UtilitiesStart Bridge and select the PSD
From ExtendScript toolkit run the code F5 or (Debug - Run)
It will then try to extract the fullsize cache thumbnail if that isn't there it will try to get the next size (preview) and write the jpg
to the desktop with a filename of "recovered.jpg"
#target bridge function main(){ var thumb = app.document.selections[0]; var sourceBitmap = undefined; //Try and get fullsized document. sourceBitmap = thumb.core.fullsize.fullsize; if( !sourceBitmap || sourceBitmap.width == undefined || sourceBitmap.width == 0 ) { //No fullsize so try and get preview size sourceBitmap = thumb.core.preview.preview; } app.synchronousMode = false; if( !sourceBitmap || sourceBitmap.width == undefined || sourceBitmap.width == 0 ) { alert("Sorry can't get cache pic"); return; } var exportFile = new File( Folder.desktop + "/recovered.jpg" ); sourceBitmap.exportTo( exportFile, 100); } main();
