  • You must have that PSD file to make any change.

You can't.

When you save to jpg you create a flat file without layers and no layer information is retained. You threw away all layers when you saved as a jpg. There is no way to get layers back.

If you want to retain layers in any file, you should save it to the native .psd format.

    in fact you should allways save your files as PSD and after that in jpg just in case.

  • Additionally to what joojaa mentioned, you should always save multiple times while you create a layout. Things happen; power shortage, cat pulls the plug, meteor strike, etc. A .psd doesn't become a .jpg if the project was saved a few (at least one) times!
