Photographs that capture life's special moments are truly priceless and you don't want to lose any. Unfortunately, though, we have all experienced 'irretrievable' loss of precious photos at some point or the other. Accidental deletion, error with memory card or hard disk crash... it's a horrible sense of loss, since it is not possible to create those magic moments again.

We have dozens of customers writing to us each month with a HELP plea. Hence, this article. Which brings good news.

In many cases, indeed, you can recover deleted photos. For FREE. There are a number of tools that help to recover photos from hard drives and memory cards. Some programs also recover files other than photos. We recommend that everyone keep a data recovery program ready at hand. But remember, regular back-ups of your photos / data is the way to go. (Recovery programs are only for SOS situations, and even these will not work on a drive that has a physical defect.)
