Photoshop CS6 Corrupted File recovery

Solution 1:

Do you have Shadow Copy enabled?

Try right-clicking on the file, and see if you presented with the "Restore Previous Versions" option.

If you are lucky, you will be able to find a recent backup, rather than having to try to repair it.

Solution 2:

I haven't tested this, but

in theory it could be possible. This link

mentions that "SD File format specificiation, which is downloaded with the SDK. PSD is a complex format. But yes it has a header, followed by chunks of data for layer structure, layer contents, etc. Photoshop does try to read the parts that are readable. But if the header or layer structure is messed up, then there may not be enough info to read much of the file."

And there is some software that can try to extract the layers from it
