Useful Tips

It is helpful to set the autosave feature to prevent damage to your Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud project. Your project will be kept after you work with them regularly. You will not even notice it. When there is any problem with the project, you merely open the latest saved version of the .PSD file. Then continue to work without fear of losing the work done in the last 10-15-30-60 minutes, depending on the settings you made.

Settings autosave function:

1. In the main menu, select “Edit.”
2. Next, select “Settings.”
3. Then select “File Processing.”
4. In the form, check the box “Automatically save information about repair every.”
5. Select a value, preferably more than 15 minutes, as a large project can last a long time.

After such installations, the project will be saved entirely to disk in a file with a name containing the ending “-Recovered.PSD.”

Now if Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud is suspended and after all subsequent actions, the .PSD file does not open, then open the autosaved file and continue. Data loss will be negligible.

Data corruption problems frequently occur when working with new types of objects and data in Photoshop CC, for example, smart-objects. Most likely, the implementation of the new functionality was not well tested for compatibility with various types of objects, layers, and transformations.

Another Good Tip

Do not leave your projects open in Adobe Photoshop CC when you leave work. After the computer enters sleep mode, exiting sleep mode may be incorrect. As a result, very often, Photoshop files then stop opening completely.
