erased pictures

Bountyphotographer

Hello this is an emergency :{{{{{{

I just got back from an event where I shot 200 pictures and inserted my compact flash in my computer when suddenly I couldn't see any pictures :scratch:scratch:scratch:scratch

I saved some of them on my compact flash and can see the new saved pictures but its all white with a cross in a midlle of the pictures. When I say pictures I should say square box with an X in the middle because they are all gone. I shot another picture of the ceiling and viewed the pictures on my computer and.................its there. So now I have a lousy picture of the ceiling with hundreds of crossed white boxes:scratch:scratch:scratch:scratch


Is there anything I can do to retrieve the pictures or they are forever gone?


Thanks you

You can try Rescue Pro http://www.lc-tech.com/pc/sandisk-rescuepro-and-rescuepro-deluxe/

Have you tried the recovery software provided by the card manufacturer? How's about reading the images from the camera (card inserted into the camera)?

If you're not comfortable, a recovery service might be able to help.

Qarik

tell us your flow:

1) what camera
2) did you shoot in raw? jpg?
3) what SW are you importing photos to?
4) what brand of CF


Basic debug:

1) the CF reader..can you visually inspect for bent/broken pins?
2) can you still images on your camera?
3) CF card, visually inspect for obvious damage
3) can you download other CF cards on your CF reader/computer?
4) try a different CF reader

Hello,

You might want to try this program:

https://www.piriform.com/recuva/download

This program has saved me on a important assignment which I lost 200 plus photos which I recovered by using Recuva software and actually last month I was able to recovery all photos from my co-workers memory card. I wish you the best of luck. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message. Thanks.
