PhotoRescue 3

My worst nightmare. I'm out in the field all day with my Nikon D1H filling up Compact Flash cards with incredible, once in a lifetime images. Once home, I eagerly download the images to my computer or laptop. Horror of horrors, the images on one of the cards is corrupt. I've lost my images! My stomach churns. My heart skips a beat. I'm sick. That was until PhotoRescue came along. Download and try PhotoRescue Version 3 : PC Version & Mac Version today!

PhotoRescue by DataRescue, a major European supplier of high-tech software technology, is an indispensable software program for anyone who shoots with any digital camera. It will recover corrupt or accidentally deleted pictures from any Compact Flash, SmartMedia or Memory Stick. At $39, this program is a lifesaver and a must have for your software library.

This program is optimized to work with jpeg, tiff and other typical file formats. PhotoRescue does not attempt to write to the card, it merely scans the card and miraculously salvages the corrupted or deleted image files. It is available in both PC and Mac versions.

PhotoRescue can recover or unerase data from the following image storage devices:

• Compact Flash (CF) cards
• SD Cards
• Memory Sticks
• SmartMedia
• XD cards

Some of the main features of PhotoRescue are:

• Able to recover after other recovery methods have further corrupted the cards even when the media is NOT visible as a drive letter anymore but still electrically responsive
• Able to create card image files for backup purpose
• JPG/JPEG files, TIFF files, GIFs and BMPs
• RAW file formats: CR2, RAW, RAF, CRW, NEF, ORF, MRW, etc
• Does not write to the cards
• Offers an accurate preview of the recoverable files

Easy to Use

PhotoRescue can be used with crashed or accidentally deleted files. It is a much more effective tool than either Scandisk or Norton when it comes to salvaging your card. Although some of the program's dialog is a bit technical, the defaults are set for you. PhotoRescue is an easy to use program. All you need to do is tell the program whether the crashed card has a drive letter (can be read by your flash card reader) or if it is so damaged that PhotoRescue needs to read it at the block level to recover your images. That's it!

My Personal Horror Story

While I haven't had a card to go bad yet (knock on wood), I have pulled a stunt that was just as bad, if not worse. One day after a photographing White-tailed Deer bucks, I lined up my cards to download. Somehow the cards got out of order. In an effort to be efficient, I reformatted a card I thought I had downloaded. Upon realizing the idiotic mistake I'd just made, I immediately considered banging my head against the wall. But NO! I had PhotoRescue. Could it possibly recover my priceless images from a card I had just reformatted in my D1H??? Miracle of miracles... it did!!!
