I saved a picture on photoshop, turned off my computer, and when I turned it back on, I found that my picture was no longer a '.PSD' file but just a file that cannot be opened by my Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. Is there any way I can change the file back to a PSD or just a regular JPEG?
Thanks,
Emily

Does the file have an extension?

And by "turned off my computer" do you mean "I properly quit out of all applications and shut down"?
Or, did you just power your system off, or did you put your system to sleep?
Just to make sure you know, Emily: It's never a good idea to shut down your entire system without first properly quitting all running operations.

No, to the best of my knowledge, it doesn't.
#4
All the programs I had started, I closed before I shut down.

G'day Emily
Can you rename the file and add .psd to it and then see if it opens?

Right click on the file icon on your desktop (or wherever it is) and that should tell you what type of file it is.
