Hey guys I need your help! I was working on a huge file and while saving the computer turned off due to a black out!
Do you know how can I try to recover the psd? The psd has all the data because is 700MB, but when I try to open it, the software tells me is not a Photoshop format. Thanks
There are many ways you can recover a corrupted psd file.
First, try to add .psd at the end of the file name.
That will fix the problem.
If the above didn’t work, download these free psd recovery pieces of software and follow the instructions.- http://www.datanumen.com/apsr/

If it still didn’t work, then the file data can no longer be recovered.
In addition, you can also try to Google it “how to recover a corrupted psd file,” you might find other useful tips.

thanks charles, I tried every of them..but nope no success..I lost my work.. gotta remake better! 
Sorry Giallo! Same thing happened to me when I saved some of my web templates/elements in 2-DVD and some of the PSD files were unable to open. It is really painful to lose a file that has no backup.

I thought blackouts only happened in third world countries like here! The same thing happens to me all the time, but after the first time i realized that if the file is saved anywhere but the desktop then it can usually be recovered by choosing safe mode on restarting. Thanks for the links regarding this too, for inevitable future reference.
