Repair .PSD file in Few Simple Steps

Adobe Photoshop does not need an introduction because it is used by millions of people across the globe and available in the 25 different regional languages including English. This great tool is available in the market from last 25 years and growing day by day.You can read more about of this tool on Wikipedia. It has a very big market of the customer from the different fields but, sometimes you can face the corruption problems in your .PSD files. The sad news is, Adobe does not provide any tool to repair corrupt .PSD files but luckily few data recovery companies (like Stellar data recovery) provide tools to repair these corrupt files. To know about these tools, stay with this blog.

PSD recovery tools are very powerful and able to repair the layers of .PSD files. This kind of software can repair the various file formats and it can be found as free and paid. I have tested many tools before writing this article. I found these tools are good and appropriate for .PSD repair. Take a look on these tools:




When I clicked on OK button then saw the error “file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop” then I click on the cancel button.

I downloaded this tool to test its working process because I was looking for one of the best .PSD repair tool. After completion of the downloading process, I run it on my machine and saw its GUI.



As you can see in the above image, you have two options to choose the corrupt file. I know the path of my corrupt file so I have chosen the Select File option and click on the Scan button. This tool was showing the preview of my corrupt .PSD file and all information like length, width, bits, horizontal pixels, vertical pixels in the log report. 



User can save the log file by clicking on the red bordered button on the top. You can save this report and it looks like this:


As it was a demo version of the tool so I was unable to save my repaired file. To download its full version I registered the software and use it.

Advantages:
  • It is repairs .PSD, .PSB and .PDD files.
  • It is safe and secure.
  • Shows the preview of repaired file.
