PSD Header Repair

Reliably Fix PSD Header Files

A header file in Windows is a supplemental data or, you can say, a signature placed at the beginning of a data file block that is being stored on any drive or transmitted which enables the operating system or the concerned software to address or access that file accordingly. The file headers are vital in any operating system as they are the key to all valuable information regarding a particular file such as activity logs, registry entries, file format details, etc.

In case of a PSD (Photoshop Document with file extension of .psd) file format, a PSD header file might contain all vital information about that Photoshop file such as the picture size, resolution, number of layers, colors, file extension details and other important details.

As you can see, the header file data is critical for an operating system or the concerned software to recognize and access any files. Should the header file data get corrupt or damaged in any circumstances, Windows operating system or any other software shall never be able to access that file. There are various actions that lead to file header corruptions in a Windows OS based computer, out of which, the most general ones are briefed below:

• The most common cause for data corruption at any of the Windows OS based computer on any level are viruses and malwares. If any drive containing system softwares and other important files such as .psd gets severely infected with viruses or malwares, it is likely that the file headers get corrupted making those files inaccessible
• Accessing files improperly can corrupt those files beyond accessibility. For example, accessing PSD files using other softwares rather than using Photoshop, or using Photoshop which has errors and bugs can easily corrupt a PSD header file
• Transferring or downloading PSD files incorrectly can corrupt those files. If files which are downloaded are broken or incomplete, they won’t be accessible using its native application
• Damages to the registry file in a system due to any reasons can cause all related files to turn inaccessible
