I almost lost one of the files I was working on in Photoshop. I open it up to work on it (preview looked fine) and lo there is a single layer of fuzz or tv static looking stuff only in colour. It was a comic I was working on involving a squirrel. A couple of you will know what I’m on about.
I could have cried for a minute there I was quite a way through it, it would have killed me to try and re do it. But wait I said to myself, I uploaded a WIP on another site to get some tips on it. And so I go there and it was there in all its glory Ok it was a lot smaller and reduce quality but Photoshop seems to have done a good job at sorting that out when I re-sized it and nothing that a little painting over wont fix for the rest of it.
It isn’t the first time it’s happen either, I’m not sure of the exact reason it happens but I remember it had a little trouble saving the last time.

Moral of the story; back ups :<
