If the software seems to freeze at some point, don’t worry. So give up reading your emails or visiting any website during the process. However, you should watch out, because this software is extremely slow and you can’t use your computer for anything else while it’s working, because you risk having a severe crash. It has even retrieved photos coming from a previous photo shoot, even though the card has meanwhile been reformatted. I got my raw and JPEG photos back, and I even got 260*120 tiny display stickers as a bonus.

Always save the software on your computer’s hard disk and start it on the computer. īE CAREFUL ! Never save the recovery software on the card that has files you want to retrieve, you’ll damage it even more.

Beyond photography, it’s an extremely useful bit of software to have on your hard disk. This program is able to retrieve files from a memory card but also from a USB stick, a camera, a phone or a hard disk. īefore I inform you about the results, here is beforehand a few explanations about how this program works. This card originally contained raw and JPEG photos (CR2 Canon). I tested Stellar Phoenix Recovery with a 16-Gigabyte memory card damaged by a defective card player as a guinea pig. You only need a computer a software specialized in photo file recovery. This really was the worse thing that could happen as you had taken so many precautions before your session. Another bad sign : “corrupt files” or “card error”. Your heart racing, you put the card back in the camera, nearly having a panic attack. The screen in front of you reads “corrupt files” or even worse… “invalid files”. We all have all experienced this nightmare : returning from a photo shoot, you put your card in the player and suddenly, it’s a disaster.
