Try soft type fixya.com/support/t25599066-psd_viewer_soft but in most cases nothing will not help myself I practice different stages of preservation work in different documents, so if I can file damage at least continue to work with the earlier phase, but not from the outset.

Hello, if Photoshop won't open the file, you may not be able to recover the data. However, one thing you can try is to open the file using another program. While Photoshop may refuse to open the file, another program may be able to open it and show the part of the image/data that was saved, which probably won't be complete or clean but may be better than nothing.

A list of other programs that can open PSD files can be found here.

if you don't have auto-save set up, you're probably not going to be able to recover with older versions of photoshop.
But you may use online service
