I’m *so* upset. Someone in my family was using my computer and closed out Photoshop while I had a new file open and all of my work was lost. I know, I know, I should have saved my work….but that wouldn’t have been necessary if I didn’t have computer idiots in my family! I *told* them *not* to close my windows! Aaarrrgghh! Anyway, here I am with hours of work gone. I thought Photoshop at least had a scratch file where it would keep the stuff you’re working on. I figure it has to be on my HD somewhere. Can anybody save me hours of work and let me know if I can recover my file? My computer hasn’t been shut down since this happened. I’m working with PS CS. I tried using ‘Open Recent’ but no luck. I would have thought that it would at least save an ‘Untitled’ file somewhere. I’m not sure if PS shut itself down for some reason, or if someone shut it down and opted not to save the file (how big of an idiot would you have to be???). Anyway, that’s the situation as far as I know it. Help?? Please??

Nope. The scratch files are not in a form where the image can be reconstructed. Sorry…

You didn’t save for *hours*? Solution: Save like a sane person.

Including….?

It would still have been necessary to save. What if you crashed or the power went out? Chalk it up to learning an important lesson.
