The simplest way to rescue lost pics

It occurs all too often. You're downloading your latest images from your digicam, and the pc freezes. After you reboot and try for a second time, there appear to be no shots in the camera. Or perhaps the photos were on your hard drive and you erased them accidentally, or you didn't have a copy and your hdd crashed.

Whatever the cause, there is no reason to freak out. The laptop or computer may no longer be capable of finding your photographs, but it is unusual for a fault to totally remove them from the storage card or hard disk drive.

With the aid of some inexpensive data recovery software, you're almost guaranteed to be able to get your photographs back.

There are many data recovery softwares on the market, but for photo recovery I strongly suggest using software specifically designed to recover digital photos.

This kind of software offers several benefits, not least the ability to show a preview of every recovered picture. Often, data recovery tools find files that look like they might have been a digital picture, but aren't. The preview feature saves you losing time recovering files that turn-out to be crap.

Another advantage of specialized photo recovery software is that it looks exclusively for photo image file types. It knows what JPEG and any other image files look like on disk. This increases the chances of a successful recovery, and reduces the amount of junk files that are found. Modern data recovery software is simple enough to use that virtually anyone can do it.

You just launch the software and tell the program where the sd card containing the lost photos is. The program scans the memory card seeking for the patterns that it recognizes as image files. When it has finished, it will provide a listing of files, with thumbnail images showing the content. All you have to do is select the photos you want to recover, and save them to a safe place on your hard disk. http://mysdcardrecoverysoftware.com/
