I tried your program and at first didn’t get how to use it but it’s quite simple and will make a png from the psd. Unfortunately for me my data was so corrupted that even the png file wasn’t openable. Oh well. Live and learn. In the early days of small hard drives I had an Iomega Jazz drive that went bad and began chewing up it’s own discs.
Salvaged some of it by copying the files to a new hard drive but lost many older files. I have never bought another Iomega product, needless to say I never will.

Hi, toby, thx for the tool. But I fear I can’t use it properly. I’m
sorry, but I’m not that good in using those tools. Could you help me by describing the usage for a dummy? How can I install those libs and use the tool properly? I’d appreciate your patience!
Download that Windows EXE (it’s a console app), and drop your PSD on to it. If you have any more trouble please e-mail me,

It’s almost impossible to backup big drives these days, so we’ve taken to just buying ANOTHER very large disk and having data replicate across the disks once a day. This simply copies files, so files are never deleted from the duplicate copy even if they are removed on the original. Of course this doesn’t help at all if you trash a file – which is why periodically we backup the most important files belonging to a particular project to DVD-R.
I’ve been stung by hard drive failures in the past, and I NEVER want to go down that route again. I still have a 120gb IBM drive on my shelf that has loads of un-archived client files on it that simply "clicks" and whirs when it is powered up. We had a company quote £3000 for the recovery!! 🙁 It was cheaper to write off the data and redo the artwork we lost.
