Recovery of digital photo data and other digital media
One of the areas where data recovery is most needed is in recovery of digital photos. In fact data recovery software is used more for photo recovery than any other purpose. Anyone who’s ever used a digital camera at some point develops a need to recover deleted photos. As with any situation where one needs to recover deleted files, it is far too simple to accidentally click on delete as opposed to save. This is especially true when scrolling down a small LCD screen on the back of a digital camera in the direct glare of sunlight. Image recovery should be broken down into several departments. These are image file recovery from your computer’s hard drive or other permanent storage, recovery of image files from camera smart cards and recovery of RAW camera files. A specialty data recovery program centered around rescue of lost digital photos is capable of image recovery in all three of these situations. Recovery of image files on your computer’s hard drive is the simplest of these tasks. All that this requires is a scan for image files with very popular extensions that have been deleted such as JPEG, GIF and BMP files. Image file recovery from your camera’s smart card storage is much the same. The only actual difference being that you must select the location of the external drive, which your smart card is plugged into in order to scan. Camera RAW files are a different matter altogether as these file formats are specific and proprietary to each camera manufacturer. High-end camera makers such as Nikon, Canon and Minolta initially store their files in special coding sequences. Only the highest quality digital photo recovery software can scan for and recognize these files in whole or damaged condition.
The same software used for digital image recovery can also be used for iPod recovery and general recovery of audio and visual files.
