tilishatyson Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I have small difficulties with photoshop image created in CS5, then edited in CS6 and opened and saved several times, everything worked and opened on my home computer is configured to automatically save files, I edited the file and did not save it manually, the changes were not needed now when the image opens only teh top two layers are visible, while the file size has not changed tell me what to do?

Norma Desmond Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Did you try going into the layers panel and making sure all the other layers are turned on? Something might simply have caused the layers you’re no longer seeing to have become hidden. We didn't need dialogue. We had faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Kahn Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 If you don't have a specific need to retain layers in the image, why not flatten the image before saving? I always use the manual save process (SAVE or SAVE AS). Trusting any automatic process on a computer is risky, especially if it's Windows 10....

Norma Desmond Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 William, one reason for not flattening is that it's often helpful to go back to a photo at a later date and finesse a layer or get rid of one. I've been very thankful on many occasions when I go back to a photo I worked on previously and want to do a little more work on it without starting from scratch and can do it much easier if I've saved various layers that I can now work with. Indeed, they are much bigger files but I have plenty of storage space and backups, so I'm not concerned with that and appreciate having the flexibility of keeping them in as workable a state as possible for future changes. We didn't need dialogue. We had faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Kahn Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Absolutely right, Fred. I was just suggesting that layers that might have a negative effect on the automatic save process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norma Desmond Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'm with you on auto-save. Though I have it turned on, and it can be useful in a crash, I'm in the habit of manually saving my work every five minutes or so as I'm working on something. With important photos, I may actually save several iterations of a photo along the way, so I can go back to various points if I decide I need to in order to get a better result.

Andrew Garrard Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Belatedly, that the size didn't change suggests something's there. Above all, make a copy before you mess with anything. If fiddling with layer visibility can't make things come back, have you tried asking Adobe? I'm sure they must have the ability to pull data out of a mildly corrupted file. Good luck.

mayurachoosak Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Hi, Tilisha ) Use Fireworks to save it as a .psd Photoshop file. (Important: Do Not save it as a Fireworks file or another extension, because Photoshop may not recognize the layers, or you could lose data.) Remember that many effects will not show in Fireworks, but should show up in the Photoshop layers but it should work, a little trick! ))) if this does not help, then you can use a probe of something similar, on the Internet there are many similar pieces GOOD LUCK!

digitaldog Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Absolutely right, Fred. I was just suggesting that layers that might have a negative effect on the automatic save process. Shouldn't whatsoever. If it does, it's a bug.
