Hello!
Does anybody knows how to recover (I assume) corrupted TIFF files?

It all happened when the system (W98SE, at the time) crashed, leaving
me with a folder of TIFFs which wouldn't open anymore.

Photoshop 6 and CS2 say "Could not complete your request because it is
not the right kind of document" when I attempt the Open or the
drag&drop way.
Open As gets me "Could not complete your request because the file is
not a TIFF file".

When opening the folder, ACDSee 2 Pro says "The source data format is
not recognized" and doesn't show a thumb/preview, although it reads
the size (in KBs) of the file.

Does anybody know what could have happened and how/if it is possible
to recover the files?

Thanks,
Enrico

Any possibility that you saved it in Lab mode
while under the impression it was in RGB?

TIFF supports Lab. That would not create a problem.

More likely, the disk directory became severely corrupted, and the files
were partially or fully overwritten. If that is th case, nothing can
save them; the data are *gone*.

Remember: If you don't keep backups of your files, you do not own them.
You're just leasing them from Fate. Every night, when you go to bed,
assume that you'll wake to find your hard drive ruined and all your
files lost beyond all hope of recovery. Act accordingly. You'll never
lose a file.

Nope. I have set up an action that perfoms certain tasks and saves the
files in RGB. All the files, corrupted and not, are saved the same
way...

That makes sense. If a disk's directory becomes damaged, then it's
recently-written files most likely to suffer as a result.
