Recovering lost photos from a SmartMedia card
Authored by: bignumbers on Aug 25, '03 03:47:35PM

Yep, a useful program. A tiny bit odd to use. They also have a "Wizard" program which is supposedly easier to use but has fewer features and a lower possibility of recovery. Why not just include the wizard in the same program, I don't know.

In my case I was on a weekend trip. On day two I was going to take some photos, and had the camera (Nikon 4500) delete all the images so I'd have plenty of room. After doing so I remembered the photos I took the day before, now gone for good...

So I swapped cards (had a spare) and when I got home bought PhotoRescue, which recovered the photos fine. It also found some really old photos on the card, long-since deleted, but obviously still recoverable.

I bought OnBelay:

It does the same thing as photorescue it also allows you to format the cards so that they are in the same condition that you bought them in. This can solve the Card Error problem that people are getting.
A Hint! Be careful when using a card reader DO NOT erase, delete or format anything on a SM card from OS X, this is what happened to my cards.
