How to get back a lost, erased photo

A stupid accident which turns to the family drama. ” But why erased you that one, it was the best! ” Well, with a little do-it-yourself, within the reach of all, the image is recoverable …

This idea of recovery does not come us by chance. On the one hand, it is an incident which arrived to us many times at the time to have to release from the place quickly on a memory card (mode Lecture on the apparatus and too fast pressure on the thrash icon). But recently, it is quite simply… a whole chart which was erased by error. 400 photographs, two months of holidays disappeared from a simple pressure! Impossible to be solved with simple “so much worse”; large parents, children and friends would have too much liked us.

The software miracle is free and simple to use. It is called Recuva.

And the photograph finally was well with the image of this outline. In short, once detected all the photographs to recover, notch them. Click then on “Recover” (Récupérer), bellow on the right.
