We're looking for software to recover pictures files from a digital camera storage card -- an xD card, in this case. Anybody got any recommendations??? Thanks!!! Steve . . .
www.datarescue.com/photorescue/ I used it to save some photos I had accidentally erased, worked like a charm. Bruce
So I am pretty new to digital photography, well actually photography in general... only ever had a point and shoot. Recently decided to get more into it and now have the Digital Rebel. So I accidently reformatted the card with a bunch of pictures on it back in December and didn't realize there was recovery software until now. I have continued to used the card, is it still possible that the photos I erased are on the card or do you need to do the recovery immediately after you screw up? Thanks, Cindy
YOu pretty much have to fix it at once, or at least before you overwrite the very images you want to recover: Once overwritten, they are forever gone. :-( Terje PS. I can recommend PhotoRescue for these jobs, it managed to recover all 35+ lost images when my camera/card glitched on a tour to Svalbard (at N78 latitude). Going back and retaking the images was definitely not an option!
For best results you need to apply recovery procedures immediately, and you should use non-destructive software that leaves the original card unmolested and works on a copy of the data. But there is no harm in trying - you may get something back. It all depends on whether or not you have filled the media with new pictures since. Regards,
