A wedding album designer reviewing restored PSD files

I'm Emily Watson, a professional wedding album designer based in London. Charlotte and James’s Kensington Palace Gardens wedding album was my most ambitious project, representing three months of work and a £12,000 commission. While exporting print-ready PDFs, my MacBook Pro froze at 78%. After restarting, every single PSD file was corrupted and Photoshop wouldn’t open them. Adobe Support told me they were “permanently corrupted.” My heart dropped because the couple was leaving for their Maldives honeymoon in five days. Desperate, I found Wondershare Repairit at 11 PM. Its Advanced Photo Repair processed all 52 files in 68 minutes. When I opened the first file and saw every layer intact, I felt pure relief. All 52 were restored perfectly.”

Photo File Damage Situation

Challenge

The moment I discovered the damage was terrifying. My MacBook Pro froze mid-export while generating print-ready PDFs, forcing a shutdown that corrupted all 52 PSD files. Each spread contained 15–30 layers spot UV masks, Pantone gold foil channels, embossing guides, and custom typography with precise kerning. In total, 18.3GB of layered files represented three months of meticulous work and a £12,000 commission. Photoshop displayed errors saying the files were “permanently corrupted,” and Adobe Support confirmed there was no recovery option. With Charlotte and James leaving for their honeymoon in five days, recreating the album was impossible. My reputation in the luxury wedding market and this once-in-a-lifetime heirloom were both at risk.

Solution

Late that evening, I found Wondershare Repairit through a professional design forum. What stood out was its Advanced Photo Repair mode, designed specifically for complex PSD files. I uploaded all 52 corrupted files and started the repair. The process was simple and reassuring, showing steady progress as Repairit analyzed and rebuilt each file. For 68 minutes, it reconstructed layers, color channels, and embedded data. When the repair finished, I opened the first PSD with trembling hands. Every layer name, blending mode, gold foil specification, and typographic detail was exactly as I’d designed it. One by one, all 52 files opened flawlessly. In that moment, I knew the album and my career had been saved.

Results

All 52 Corrupted PSD Wedding Album Spreads Restored Every Layer Intact

When the first repaired PSD opened, I felt pure relief. Every spread was restored perfectly, with no missing layers or design flaws. I delivered the completed album two days before Charlotte and James left for their honeymoon. When Charlotte saw it, she cried. Repairit saved three months of work, a £12,000 commission, and a once-in-a-lifetime wedding heirloom, protecting both my reputation and my client’s most cherished memories.
