Recovering lost photos from a SmartMedia card
Authored by: Macgyyver on Aug 26, '03 04:08:18PM

I have a customer who has experienced the iPhoto import & erase. And then he deleted his Albums. All of them.

My first thought was to try and recover the Album from the iMac, and then the customer mentioned they still had the CF card. As I understand that file recovery under OS X/Unix is a little bit challenging, I thought I'd try the recovery from the card.

I downloaded PhotoRescue and the demo sold me - in under 60 seconds. It found 28 photos, 19 of which are still viable. Some files seem to have the appropriate amount of data (900k), but those files aren't recognized by GraphicConverter or any other software I tried.

I tried EXIF untrasher, it was not successful. Not even one photo.

I HIGHLY recommend PhotoRescue, and even in Canadian $ - it was $41.72! My customer will happily pay his bill to get photos of his little girl back.
