Cheeseman Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I have this 40K*30K 2.7GB image that got corrupred when saving, is it possible to recover this? My compter has 64gb of ram, yet my file it kept crashing, one crash it just never recovered. Help. The file has about 3 or 4 layers. Strange thing is, I can still see the little thumbnail of the PDN file, so I assume it may be part save-able? I've seen something about "irfanview" can see corrupted files?, thats what @null54 said 4 years ago. I tried it, but even their it says it's too corrupted. If you have a powerful enough computer, can someone please have a look at this? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QZGtjgqY5ivMOyk2teFzzzywuEe2NZx2/view?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. The thumbnail is stored separately from the file. 49 minutes ago, Cheeseman said: is it possible to recover this? Unlikely, but you could try this: Right click on the file >> Restore Previous Version.

Rick Brewster Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I was able to get it to load by using a modified version of PDN that just ignores the chunk that is corrupted. It ends up with a row of blank (transparent) at row 18,902. This gave me an idea of something to add to PDN itself, something like a /ignoreCorruptPDNChunks. Let me see if I can share the file back to you somehow … Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So only the first chunk of the file has to be valid in order to see a thumbnail for it. This is why thumbnails load so fast in Explorer -- the shell extension just pulls out that tiny precomputed thumbnail. It doesn't have to load and decompress the whole PDN to generate the thumbnail.

Alfy Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Hi @Rick Brewster! Would it be possible to incorporate this feature of ignoring corrupt chunks in some sort of update or making this PDN version that can do that available for download somehow? I have the same problem with some PDN files and I'm interested in salvaging whatever I can. Really appreciate all you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfy Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 @toe_head2001, just thought I'd let you guys know it didn't particularly work in my case. Thank you again though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
