jaysalazar Posted March 3, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I made some last winter photos on my Leica camera. I saved it on my laptop. Couple days ago, I started to work with it in Adobe Photoshop. I made almost all, what I wanted, but I during saving the image, the program was closed. I opened it again, and I saw that all my work for a day was lost. I have urgently back my data from this file. I'm using Photoshop CC 19.0.1 on Windows 7 x32.

Advertisement Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Hi jaysalazar, Take a look here My processed image problem. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted March 4, 2018 Share #2 Posted March 4, 2018 It happens... But I wonder, how does one manage to work a whole day on one image in Photoshop? Or do you mean that the whole content was lost? That is something that we all need to take into consideration - backup, backup and backup... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitz Posted March 5, 2018 Share #3 Posted March 5, 2018 Do you have enough computer, particularly RAM? I'm actually surprised the latest Photoshop runs on a 32 bit operating system. You do need to Save frequently, not just when you are finished. The problem may also be with another program that was open at the same time you were using Photoshop.

250swb Posted March 5, 2018 Share #4 Posted March 5, 2018 It's accepted good practice to save images at significant points as you go along, just put v for 'version' after each one, v1, v2, v3 etc. and you can backtrack as well if in retrospect you see a point that maybe you went down the wrong road. If they take a lot of hard drive space (which shouldn't be a problem nowadays) wait for a week just to make sure the final image is 'final' and delete then the workflow.

jaapv Posted March 31, 2018 Share #5 Posted March 31, 2018 Use a dedicated folder for the unfinished versions, it makes deleting faster. Save them as .psd files including layers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted March 31, 2018 Share #6 Posted March 31, 2018 Use a dedicated folder for the unfinished versions, it makes deleting faster. Save them as .psd files including layers. And do not worry about disc space. PSD files are saved in a lossless compressed format. Sorry for your bad luck. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thighslapper Posted April 13, 2018 Share #8 Posted April 13, 2018 One of the reasons I stick to LR and rarely use PS. If it had a fully functional 'history' pane like LR and saved edits as it went along I would use it more ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 13, 2018 Share #9 Posted April 13, 2018 Ummm... Photoshop has a "History" window that shows everything that you have done, and if you work your adjustments in the "Adjustments" window each separate adjustment is on its own layer and non-destructive. In addition there is a history brush tool for local history adjustments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unaware of this and presumably it is hidden amongst its dense forest of menu items and unintuitive keyboard short cuts ..... can you just click on a history point and go back just like LR though ...... ?

Good points. Being something of a Nerd, I eventually enabled PS history logging option - and as a programmer I found it lacking in detail.
