Thanks for posting your experience. I like the way you lead your viewers through your solution after the problem occurred and demonstrated how you implemented the software.
I was worried about malware, but this did the trick. A fast and easy recovery after formatting an SD card before transferring the contents to my computer. It wasn't a critical work project, but rather some photos of my girlfriend's kids at a dance recital. Still means a lot to me to get them back - $50 well spent. I was, however, annoyed to see it's a 1-year subscription for the $50, rather than outright ownership. If that was made obvious before I bought it, I didn't see it.
I always toss the recovery software card. I will save my next one! Fortunately, I have never had a card become corrupt. I do use smaller cards, usually 32GB and at the end of each shoot/day, I extract my files and then reformat the card. Glad you got back the best ones.
A lot of times this type of file weirdness has to do with a reader incompatibility and the files aren't actually corrupt. A lot of times if you just use a different reader it will fix it. I have also unmounted these disks and put them into the same reader and it works. No idea why it does that I dont know. Its very disconcerting when it happens.
This could be helpful for me because every-shoot is not possible to take backup. I always use the Stellar Photo Recovery software which help me to recover deleted or lost and repair corrupt card files. Thanks!
Maybe back up everyshoot & then go out with an empty card each time to reduce corruption risk. Some advise 64gb card max which may reduce this risk of corruption & just have more 64gb cards instead. Glad your situation had a happy ending.
Hey Nicky... solid advice. Backing up after a shoot is definitely important. My typical workflow is copying the images off the memory card at the end of day (ideally after the shoot, when that's possible). In my case, the corruption was immediate - the source images on the card were munged. I've thought about the smaller cards/bring more approach... the flip-side of that is there are more cards that can go bad :-) If my camera had dual card slots, I might go that way. Thankfully, I didn't lose everything.
Definitely. I think every serious computer user slash photographer knows or should know to not keep the photos on the card. Always move them immediately (you may wanna wait till your home but there are devices that makes securing the photos even on the road possible) to a solid hard drive. But it does not end there either. Always keep at least two copies on separate external disks and connect them to your computer only during the time you are backing up your fotos or need to work on them on your pc. While working on them, use a copy that you copied to your internal computer harddisk. And when done, move the result on the for those files dedicated external drive. Best is to keep two copies of the original image on a set of two external drives, AND all your modified copies on two other external drives. To much work, costs?? try restoring a batch of lost photographs on assignment. If your rights as photographer means something to you then i would advise against saving photos "in the cloud". When it comes to theft those services are definitely not watertight.
I activated my free serial number that came the SanDisk Flash Drive that I bought. When my free subscription expires will I be obligated to pay up the next? or will my account just deactivate? What will happen?
Mines telling me 10800 minutes is this normal ? I only had a few videos as I formatted it on my new drone ! Is it trying to recover absolutely everything I’ve ever shot ?
i had a code from them in a usb packet needed to try recover from a desktop harddrive software doesnt work for me and doesnt take my code even tho ive never used it

Thanks Scott, for taking the time to make an honest and straight forward review.
Sure thing.

A way to do it cheaper next time would be to buy a cheap sandisk usb with it included. It will say it on the back
Thank you for the review

Yeah! I'm sure keeping those recovery software licenses from now on :)

Good tip! I haven't experienced that oddity before.
Could this possibly work with a micro sd card used on a cell phone?
My micro sd card on my cell phone became corrupted and I was wondering if it’s possible to recover all my data using this program

Thanks for the note about Stellar ... always good to have options :)
My problem is the file format from recovered pics is still corrupt preventing use in Lightroom and Photoshop.

I have Delux Pro Version, it couldn't recover OR copy the files from DCIM folder on SD card :-(
Just bought a USB stick and a year free is a pretty decent offer!
I activated my free serial number that came the SanDisk Flash Drive that I bought. When my free subscription expires will I be obligated to pay up the next? or will my account just deactivate? What will happen?
How about after a quick format? can this program work?
Mines telling me 10800 minutes is this normal ? I only had a few videos as I formatted it on my new drone ! Is it trying to recover absolutely everything I’ve ever shot ?
Mine too! Idk why it has to take so long, i thought it's just a few
Hi Scott, if I forget my passwords on SanDisk devices, and I reformat it in order to access the hard drive, can I use rescuePRO to get back my data?
no guarantees that'd work. I wouldn't count on it.
I think when photos become corrupt, it has to do with when they are being saved to the SD card something goes wrong, but I could be incorrect on that.
i had a code from them in a usb packet needed to try recover from a desktop harddrive software doesnt work for me and doesnt take my code even tho ive never used it
@@Sentaur-qd8im Did you add the dashes in between?
@@kirksexiplex Yep maybe they did omit the dashes.
Hi! Are your recovered photos also locked when in preview mode ?
I don’t recall having that problem.
can you access raw files?
In my case, yes, I recovered RAW files. To my knowledge the software doesn’t care what the file format is.
