 p.1 #10 · Deleted Images on CF Card | |
All: Update: I tried recuva, and it worked to bring back 82 of 83 images on a CF card that I had formatted, but thankfully had never used meantime. I note that this recovery program restored the image files to the *.tiff file type. I haven't tried to load any of these recovered files into CS4 or ACR yet, but I can view thumbnail images.
martines34: I'll likelly buy DataRescue II as well. It sounds like a more sophisticated piece of software.
Dpic_arctic: Yes, the file recovery programs can restore image files even if the user formatted the memory card.
This ability arises from how an operating system identifies a file. The OS writes a header to it. This header defines the space on the storage media where the file resides. When the OS "deletes" a file, it really only changes the definition in the header to make the file space available for writing over.
Even smarter software can recover data (files) even when the space has been overwritten, by reading the electro-magnetic traces remaining from the previous file.
But enough. I thank the stars the wizards have devised file recovery programs to bring back images from memory cards.
