Can anyone recommend a good, reliable, way of restoring a corrupt .PSD file?
Unfortunately, we've been running into this a lot lately. PSD files are becoming corrupt when saved onto our server. The flattened TIF is always fine, it's just the layered PSD that goes corrupt. For a while we thought it was exclusive to PSD files that had live type, and that our font management system may have had something to do with the file becoming corrupt. But we have since ruled out that theory.
The file can be placed into ID, and properly viewed in Bridge, but when you attempt to open it within Photoshop we get a "This file is not compatible with your version of.." (can't remember the exact language). The files were either created in PS CS2 or CS3.
If anyone has some suggestions, I'm all ears. As you can imagine this problem is a major pain in the ass.
