Photo recovery and rescue
The thought of it makes us shutter....we accidentally erase the digital images stored on our memory card.
Or maybe the card was incorrectly formatted or the losses were caused by battery or system failure. Problems can also arise if a card is removed while an image is still in the process of being written to it.
Can lost images be recovered? The answer, in all likelihood, is YES!
There are a variety of digital photo recovery and rescue programs available. Most are capable of recovering lost images, video and animation files from memory cards.
Photo recovery not guaranteed
The photo recovery process can be easy, fast and painless. Understand, however, that recovery is not guaranteed and not always 100% effective. Sometimes no file recovery is possible. Free programs may only recuse jpeg files.
Whichever program you decide to use, visit the developer's website and read the information, FAQs and help information. 30-day trial versions are often available for download at the site.
