PhotoRescue 2.0 Now Available for Mac OS X and Windows
I've lost count of how many times readers have asked me what program I use to recover "lost" image files on flash memory cards. For the last year or so the one that I have been using on my PC is DataRescue's excellent PhotoRescue utility. It has consistently recovered image files that other recovery utilities were unable to find. I don't even bother with the other programs anymore, if PhotoRescue can't recover the files, then no program can.DataRescue has just released PhotoRescue 2.0, it's available in both Mac and PC versions as well as simple "wizard" and advanced user interface models. It just doesn't get any easier, the image files are displayed visually on the screen as hi-res thumbnails as they're recovered. Version 2.0 now recovers more images from bigger storage devices. With more and more people using 512MB, 1GB and larger cards, this is very important. PhotoRescue 2.0 faster recovery rates are obtained through a proprietary data-recovery engine that dynamically switches between up to 12 data-recovery algorithms to apply a case-by-case optimized recovery strategy.
PhotoRescue supports the recovery of all file types but its algorithms are particularly optimized for JPG or JPEG files, TIFF files, GIFs and BMPs. It also offers a constantly updated support for CRW, NEF, ORW, MRW and many types of movie files. In some cases, it can even rebuild pictures that have suffered minor corruptions.
PhotoRescue 2.0 is available in a simplified Wizard version, and a more advanced Expert version for Windows and Mac OS X. Both versions, available in most languages, can be freely evaluated and are available for download at www.datarescue.com. DataRescue has also upgraded its reseller offering by including both its PC Expert and Mac OS X Expert version in a single package priced at .
