Hi,

This is my first post. I'll explain the problem and give system data at the end. Hope you can help as I'm worried that I could lose more work and I use this program to make my living...

Problem
----------------------------------
PS CS displays alert "There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?" when opening a file I created yesterday. Choosing to read composite data prompts another alert "Could not complete your request because a color was specified using an unsupported color space."

Nothing I've tried seems to allow me to access the file.

The file was created from new using PS CS. It's a smallish file of 3.5Mb containing a website template I designed. I sliced it up in Image Ready, saved optimised images and saved the file in Image Ready before closing it down. I also did some editing in IR although I can't remember exactly what - various edits of type and shape layers, and slice sizes and names.
