    Hey guys

    Just did a very silly thing and deleted the contents of a memory card that I hadn't uploaded yet. The images aren't THAT important that I would want/need to be paying for a method of retrieval, but if there's a free one knocking about that's any use I'd love to know.

    A quick google threw up some dodgy sites and some Windows only solutions. So if there's any Mac ones too, that'd be awesome!

    Cheers!

    There's a unix/linux utility called foremost which does a good job at automatically finding and recovering deleted files off media, including doing things like looking for files that look like images.

    Homepage is http://foremost.sourceforge.net/

    And here is a page that apparently shows how to install it on Mac OS X:

    I've used it before to recover deleted photos off a memory card and it worked a treat.

    During the holidays I did a stupid thing - I just added the photos lightroom - I didn't actually copy the photos off the memory card.

    I then preceded to delete the photos off the memory card thinking that they were on my pc and took some more photos.

    And there this evening i looked for my photos on lightroom and it said it was a preview only, the original was not available.

    Cue this fantastic bit of freeware software.

    Recovered 286 photos - every one that was lost.

    Hope this helps someone in the future :)




    And its available on Mac OSX too :)

    Its a totally awesome bit of software
