sorry for the long headline, but can't figure out how to shorten...
i'm using photoshop CS 5.5. the image below is the result of making a change, zooming in and the redraw created this:
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
as i zoomed out, the image progressively filled into normal by the time it was at 6% actual size, but when i zoomed in, the image broke apart once more. i closed this image without saving. i reopened the image, and the corruption remained. i tried to open in CS 6 and 4 but it was still corrupted. the layers are mostly smart objects which opened uncorrupted. i resaved them and when it went back to the main document, that particular smart object was restored. so i thought it had to do with a smart object glitch, but then i realized that the pixel masks non-smartobject layers had giant square blocks. this file is gone.
can anyone provide insight?
this is how the file looked originally:
