worst problem i ever had in my life

i had homecoming. had about 50 pics. got em in photoshop
COMP FROZE! ::karate chops monitor and kicks it so it falls of desk::

now. it is stored in a .tmp file i found in my temp folder.. is their a way i can re open that temp file to retrieve my pictures?

if you help me into finding my lost pictures. i will coe visit you and give u whatever u want. a woman, sex, a blow job, money, a piece of gum. whatever.

Sounds like you have quite an issue on your hands.... Why not try this: try renaming the extention from .tmp to .bmp... Make sure you are trying to open the actual image file, and not the "actions" temp file. Try making a copy before renaming and opening, so if there IS a way to restore them, you haven't just corrupted one.

I really haven't ever had this issue.. as I always (notice, I say ALWAYS) save my files before leaving the computer. Computers are great, but software is fickle.

Edit:
Oh yeah, and why are you taking it out on your monitor? Your monitor had NOTHING to do with it.. ;)

i tried but it wouldn't open the bitmap

how many pictures did you have open at one time? sounds like 50. Is that the case?

ytea.. its a 200 mb .tmp file... im tryin to get over it, but like this is my last homecoming... im so mad that i was so stupid to del em off my camera before i saved them.

I had the same problem. I depends on the camera your using. Try renaming the file to a TIF extension then open up MS Imaging ( accesories - imaging ) and open the file. Make sure your in the editing part of MS Imaging. (*You will be if you open the program first then load the file.)



Good Luck.

my solution...

wait 5 years and then you won't give a damn about homecoming anymore

Hate to be the one to tell ya but....

That temp file is all but worthless... I have NEVER seen one recovered and have tryed everything under the sun. That horse it dead.

I will tell you that this question has come across the Adobe forum more than once and there has NEVER been a good answer for it.

Unconfirmed:
People have posted that you can:

A) drag that *.tmp file from the explorer ("finder" level macintosh) level into a running photoshop window (or onto the shortcut icon on your desktop)
->>>>never had this work for me.
B) Try opening it using the "Raw" file type to open it.
->>>>it will open it....sometimes... but it don't look NOTHING like a photo. :(

C) Rename it into a .psd file
->>>> This surely doesn't work in that the bit order is all wrong.

As I said I've never had ANY of these things work for me, and can't confirm that the folks that said these things worked actually had them work. Thats just all I know on the subject...off the top of my head.

....but in short....
That horse is dead.

I would have to agree with Charm on that one. Once graduated, school doesn't have a place anymore, that I do know :p

yea. i jsut forgot about it. oh well. thanks for tryin to help all.
