Technical Help / Help PSP -> PL/SQL !!
« on: Saturday 15 January 22 18:44 GMT (UK) »
Back in 2005 I acquired some photos from my mother in law. I scanned and restored them. In fact I put one or two up on the photo board for help with them.
For some reason I used Corel PSP. Most of them were then saved in that format , and saved both to computer in an 'In law' folder and also saved to external drive and usb stick. Over the years, I have had a few computers and have used Photoshop since then as I preferred it.
Last week I decided to look through them again. There they were on numerous backups. Clicked on one (PS can open PSP files) but found it wouldn't open. When I investigated further, I found that they weren't in the usual PSP image format* but are all PL/SQL !!
I'm not sure how this happened. I managed to open one and it is definitely a SQL type file.
I don't have much hope but is there anyway I can get back to the correct file format ?
Grateful for any ideas - even to confirm that they're useless!
