Let's begin with the leading commercial software for editing bitmap images and the most popular product by Adobe – Photoshop. When starting your work with Photoshop, remember that you can't prevent a software error or a failure, but you can prepare for possible problems. You can save a file regularly by using the menu File – Save, or pressing the key shortcut Ctrl-S. Yet there is a better option. To set up Photoshop Autosave function, in order to enable and set up this function, open Adobe Photoshop and go to this menu – Edit – Preferences – File Handling. In the menu that opens, check the boxes next to Saving Background and Automatically Save Recovery Information and set a period of time. This Saving Background function lets the program save files automatically without distracting you from work. If you enable this function, the default Autosave time will be 10 minutes. However, a lot can be done for 10 minutes, so it's better to set the minimal time period – 5 minutes. If you set up the Autosave function properly, you start Adobe Photoshop after a software failure or freeze, and it suggests you to restore the latest Autosave file or just opens an Autosave file in a window next to the one you are trying to open. But it doesn't happen with that way quite often. In this case, go to the folder in Drive C where Photoshop keeps Autosave files in the PSB format, which is basically the same PSD file supporting large file size, which can be opened with Photoshop. You can find this folder by following the path C, users, username, app data, roaming, Adobe, Adobe Photoshop, auto-recover. Go there and you'll find a PSB file for automatic recovery of the last Autosaved copy of an Adobe Photoshop file. If you select the details view, you can see the time when every Autosaved file was created. Now let's talk about Adobe Illustrator. Working with vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator is a long and tedious process. That's why for cases when quite a lot of time was spent working on an illustration, and the final result is not exactly what the designer wanted to have, there is a function of returning to the last saved version of a file. In order to use it, just go to the menu File -> Revert. As a result, the picture will be returned to its condition at the time of the last save. Changes made after that will be canceled. Similarly to Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator has built-in tools to restore an unsaved illustration after a software or computer failure. You should set up this function to be able to use it effectively. To do it, go to Edit -> Preferences -> File -> Handling and Clipboard. In the Data Recovery section of this menu, set the intervals for Autosave Recovery data, ranging from 30 seconds to 60 minutes. And the folder where to save it. By default, this folder is C, Users, Username, AppData, Roaming, Adobe, Adobe Illustrator, Settings, X64, Data Recovery. Now if there is a software failure or if Adobe Illustrator suddenly crashes, the program will restore all Autosave data after you started the game. The Autosave file has an extension AID and looks like this. If for some reason the program doesn't restore any illustration from an Autosave data file when you started Adobe Illustrator, you open such file manually with Adobe Illustrator. In this case, the Autosave illustration will be restored in Normal mode. When working in CoralDraw, you can also encounter problems with software failures. How can we prevent data loss? It is just for these such situations that CoralDraw has an Autosave function. To make it more effective, you should set it up. That is, decide on the time interval and location where saved copies will be stored. These settings are available in the menu Tools, Options, Workspace, Save. Of course, the shorter is the time period between autosaves, the less data will be lost in case of failure. However, all should be in good measure. Your instance of saving a document takes some time, and the larger the document, the more time it takes to save it. The best Autosave time is 10-15 minutes. You should also specify the folder for autosave files. At the set periods of time, automatic copies of your files will be saved into such folder with the extension CDR. If anything happens or the program crashes unexpectedly, you can also always go back to the last autosave file. Just open the autosaved copy of your file. Besides, in this section you can allow saving backups. The backup on save option allows saving the latest version of a file before saving the actual file. Backups also come in handy when recovering documents. If the autosave function was not set up at the time of an unexpected crash or software failure which resulted in losing an Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator or CoralDraw file, such file can be restored with special data recovery software supporting file formats such as PSD for Photoshop, AI, EPS, AIT, SVG for Adobe Illustrator and CDR for CoralDraw. There are only a few products that can help you restore these particular file types. If your illustrations were lost after a software failure or for other reasons, you can always have them back with Hetman Partition Recovery. To do it. Run the utility and scan the media where illustrations were saved. To recover the illustrations you need, drag them to the recovery list or right-click on them and click Recovery. Specify the location where to save files and click Recovery. The files have been recovered. In the same way, you can also recover autosaved copies of files with extensions like PSP, AID or CDR.
