PhotoRescue update
PhotoRescue, by the Belgian company DataRescue, is hands-down one of the must-have tools for any digital photographer. I can’t remember how many times it has saved the day when I or someone working with me has accidentally deleted images, formatted a card containing vital images, or suffered card failure. And with militaries becoming increasingly unhesitant about demanding that pictures be deleted in-camera when they disapprove of what has been shot, it can be invaluable in recovering those images later on.
New versions for both Mac OSX (v2.1.675) and Windows (v2.1.674) have just been released and demo versions are available here.
They also make a free utility called CardWiper that can wipe a card clean, beyond the reach of data-recovery programs, which can be useful in deep-erasing bad formatting information that can occur when cards get corrupted.
