Hi everybody!
After cropping a small section from my photoshop file, I unexpectedly saved the file, closed and quit Photoshop.
Next times, when I re-opened the file, I got only small section that I had cropped.
I still see all layers in layer windows but I don't know how to display them in the file as normally.
So please give me a help.
Thanks and regards.

If you've cropped and saved then, unfortunately, the cropped version is going to be what's left. If you have backups, then now's the time to look at them.

Ways to avoid in future would be:
- use a selection instead of a crop and control-j to put this in a new layer. You can always drag just this layer to a new file
- did you know that when you crop you have the option to 'hide' the rest instead of throwing it away?

Sorry, hope it doesn't cause you too much anxiety.

yeah, bye bye layers!
I am sorry about your loss. Everyone of us had lost a file or more sometimes.

CS6 will be our saviour! No more accidental saves, with no recovery.

Thank you very much, all of you, for your helps here.
I'm new to PTS. This is really a precious lesson.
