PhotoRescue: the original digital
photo and digital picture recovery software.
New Latest Version demos now
available...see below.
Note from Steve: this
software is an absolute necessity if you have a problem with your memory card.
You can download the trial, run it on your card, and it will tell you if and how
many images it can recover. Only at that point do you need to register and pay
the very modest $29 fee. And you then own the software for future use too.
If
you do need to purchase the registration code, just click on the "Help" tab in
the PhotoRescue program, then click on "Purchase" where you will be directed to
the RegSoft ordering page.
In 2001, PhotoRescue introduced the first
affordable and fair "what you see is what you get" digital picture and digital
photo data recovery solution. PhotoRescue will undelete, unerase and recover
pictures, images, photos and files lost on corrupted, erased or damaged compact
flash, smartmedia, memory sticks, mmd, XD, multimedia or secure digital memory
cards when other solutions fail. Unlike other
competitors, they guarantee their
data recovery performance: once the demo previews your pic, they will be
recovered or you get your money back (see our refund policy).
PhotoRescue supports the recovery of all file types but its algorithms are
particularly optimized for JPG or JPEG files, TIFF files, GIFs and BMPs. It also
offers a constantly updated support for CRW, NEF, ORF, MRW and many types of
movie files. In some cases, we can even rebuild pictures that have suffered
minor corruptions.
If your card is damaged, corrupted, or has been formatted, PhotoRescue is the
best data-recovery solution you can get: it consistently beats other solutions
in independent tests. PhotoRescue even deals with cases where the media is NOT
visible as a drive letter anymore. We get at the pictures other recovery
software does not even see. Our unique unfragmenting technology rebuilds
cherished memories that would otherwise have been lost forever. Try PhotoRescue
today.

Note from Steve:
At my recent Bosque workshop, one of the
participants accidentally erased and formatted a memory card, thinking he had
already downloaded the images. He then filled the card about 1/3 full the next
day when he realized the error. Using PhotoRescue, he was able to retrieve over
150 images!! He became a true believer!
More...a fellow pharmacist
brought me her memory card. She was in a funk! It had her son's baptism on it
and the card had accidentally been formatted. Well, I ran it thru PhotoRescue
and it recovered ALL her photos. She gave me a $50 gift certificate to Olive
Garden. So PhotoRescue could even get you a free meal!
