    Hello,

    Right now i consider myself as stupid as i can be...
    I was watermarking a lot of my works, (the .jpg files); so i created an action that places my watermark, merges the image, saves, and closes it.
    But then i accidentally did it with one of the logos i created, and it took a hell of a lot of time to make.
    Anyway, it saved the PSD as a 1 layer image :S...

    I heard something about a backup photoshop makes. How can i access that backup (assuming it exists) to restore my file?

    Thanks, i really appreciate it!

    Nick

    Oh what a nightmare Nick - have you had any luck fixing it yet? I cant think of a way of retrieving the original but hopefully someone will be able to help? I'm assuming that you havent made a back up copy or uploaded it anywhere??

    Good luck

    Ouch, yeah that's a hard lesson to learn my friend. One i've learned a few times before i started saving everything twice. Once On System, and a second time on a back up external drive. Better safe then sorry.

    There's no backup that I am aware of. Seems you might be out of luck with this one...

    Thank you all, now i've learned that there isn't any backup for photoshop, which sucks... BUT..

    Actually i was lucky.
    I had 4 different versions of this logo, and he decided to use the 4th one (and i did this huge mistake with the 3rd version)... so i was actually lucky here =P

    I hope this helps me so i wont do it again hehe.

    Thank you all! ^^

    Haha deffinitely good luck xD
    Although i did lost the other version which i also liked =P

    Thanks you all for your help haha, and also just in case you're interested, doing a bit of research i saw that there are a few programs that make auto backups. So you can give 'em a try if this has happened to you =P

    See ya! ^^
