When one has just completed a two week vacation to Europe and discovers that all of the digital photographs from that trip have somehow magically been accidentally deleted from their computer it is certainly time to panic. Usually in these circumstances we have no choice but to send our computer hard drive off to a photo recovery service. If our files were last seen on a digital camera memory card, we can send the card off as well. The services available throughout the world charge hundreds and thousands of dollars for simple photo file recovery. Amazingly very few people are aware that they can perform the same service for themselves at a fraction of the cost.
All that is required for fast photo recovery is a quality file recovery utility such as File Finder. File Finder scans through your computer’s hard drive or any digital storage device connected to your computer in just minutes. That scan will return a complete list of all the existing files on your computer or memory card along with a list of any recently deleted files. You can choose to search for only deleted files or a combination of all files. In either case the image files will be listed before you and you can then preview them in the File Finder viewer so as to select exactly the photos you wish to save.
