Long story short, I lost pictures to a shoot I did the other day.

Does anyone have any recommendations on an undelete software package?

Thanks,

First of all, try not to do anything with whatever drive they were on. If they were on a flash card and you haven't used it since, then it becomes easier. If you've used it since they were deleted then it might be a lost cause. It depends how much space you filled. If they were on your hard drive then it's a bit more worrying, as everything you do on your computer has a chance of overwriting the sector on the disk that the photos were stored on, even browsing the web. So don't do too much and try not to put anything on your drives until you try and get the photos back.

I actually got some software with a sandisk extreme that i found to be reasonably good but you could try this (http://www.pctools.com/file-recover/?ref=google_fr&gclid=CIyL-aX6zpYCFQuY1Qod8k6L2w)

Had some success with that too. There are plenty out there, alot are free, but you have to start paying when you want to get more advanced.

hmm...I think it might be difficult to get it back from the memory card....but will link you to the software I've used to recover data from the pc...let me find it first though....

EDIT: found this link but not really what I've used....try them but make sure they are clean of any malware.. http://www.recoverdata.in/

This one from Lexar was posted elsewhere in these forums and is free, you only have to enter your email address. I did try it on a card to see how well it worked and it did the job.

Thank you for the recommendation.
