Yup. Total rookie mistake. I spent an hour on a LO I LOVED and then closed it. Without saving. In fact, I didn't save it AT ALL.

omg.....I never do that. I'm so sad! This was seriously a perfect page!

Just had to share my duh moment. Ugh
 
I wish I could write, I have never done that, but oh I have...wham bam, slap my hand on my head ma'am! Recreating sucks...but maybe, just maybe it won't this time??
 
That stinks. My program froze just as I was finishing one. I was able to recreate it and it actually turned out a little better than the first. It's so frustrating though!
 
Noooooooo ..!

I feel your pain. Have done that once or twice - and it's always been a page I was really happy with :banghead
 
Oh no! I've actually done that more times than I care to admit! For me, it's usually a lot faster to finish the page the second time around though!
 
So frustrating! That's happened to me when a computer glitch in my software won't let me save and I have to shut it down.

I try to follow old time computer gaming advice: Save early, save often.
 
Argh! It's such a blow to lose that hard work! I hate when I've done that... or when PS closes unexpectedly! Grrrr!
 
Oh no!!! We can all relate and feel your pain. I hope it's not too much work to try to put it back together again.
 
You're not alone. I just did that the other day. Thought my program had locked up on me, but it was only asking whether I wanted to save the page. Doh! Hugs!
 
That is the WORST when you're on a roll and loving the lo! :( I hope you can remake it so you love the lo even more!

Oh, no! Reading this made me want to hug you!

It also made me want to do a quick Google search. I don't know what software you use, but starting with CS6, Photoshop has an auto-save feature built in, and it's supposed to be automatically enabled. It might be possible to recover at least some of your work if the recovery files are still there. http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2012/04/background-save-and-auto-save-features-in-photoshop-cs6.html

I guess I should start using my CScc lol.....I can't seem to leave CS5 but that would have been super helpful. sigh.
 
I ALWAYS save early and often.....but for some reason I didn't. I tried to recreate but it killed my mojo :( My new page wasn't half as good as the original. boooooo!

That stinks! Losing a page like that does deflate the mojo, and not being able to recreate it just makes it worse. :( You're a cautionary tale for all of us--and we've all done it to lol.
