It would seem that for both commercial and non-commercial purposes film is no longer a viable photography media. Indeed the inventors of the mainstream photographic process are now salvaging their global worth by selling digital cameras and digital image accessories such as smart cards. We now take hundreds of photographs knowing that there are no development costs and that super sharp, shiny prints cost but pennies.

However the complete transition from film to digital photography has not been with out its pitfalls. In place of blurry images that we were forced to pay for at the drugstore we now have a new set of problems specific to digital photos. Not the least of which is the tremendous need for photo recovery. It is incredibly simple to delete or overwrite our precious digital images and then be faced with the traumatic task of attempting their rescue. Actually digital photo recovery is a very simple matter… provided one has the correct tools.

Those tools include a powerful software program built expressly for image recovery. In the field of data recovery there are dozens of programs to recover deleted files. Of these half are worthless. Of the remaining 50%, half are too slow. And of the remaining one fourth we have fairly efficient data recovery programs. But even these are not structured specifically as digital photo recovery software. They are designed as catch all programs to recover hundreds of file typed based upon a scan for file extensions on deleted files.

So while these can locate files commonly associated with digital image recovery such as .JPG and .BMP, they are likely to miss the myriad of new file types as well as camera manufacturer files. These files known as RAW files can best be recognized by powerful, targeted photo recovery software. When one wants to recover files saved on a smart card from Nikon camera the photo recovery software must be able to “see” the inherent Nikon file type and capture it for preview and recovery. When one considers all of the major type of high-end digital cameras on the market today it becomes obvious that digital media recovery begins and ends with superior grade software.

With that in mind how difficult is the process to recover photos? Anyone can recover digital photos regardless of their level of computer expertise. First as stated download a targeted photo recovery program. The recommended program is Disk Doctors Recover Photo. This particular program meets all of the aforementioned criteria and more!

Once you download the digital photo recovery software, you have two options. The first is to follow the simple wizard style instructions leading you to successful image recovery. The second is to use the step-by-step instructions for advanced photo recovery. These steps include either pre-sorting lost image types before scanning or sorting and previewing images just prior to digital photo recover. The latter is preferable. Those who well remember using file type cameras know the importance of previewing thumbnail images prior to ordering prints. The advantage when using digital images is similar.
