possibility to get my data back .even as jpeg file.. i worked so hard on that project. thnx   ... and srry for my bad english

Answer
Hi Farza,
usually recovering a corrupt psd file has very less chances.
In your case the computer switched off while saving, so probably the file is missing the data itself.
Anyways try using this tool http://www.datanumen.com/apsr/index.htm

all the best.
