As a professional photographer I shoot thousands of photographs. In 2002, I personally experienced the "card not formatted" error after completing an 1100 mile trip to the Grand Canyon for a client photo shoot.

After getting past the initial "panic", I started searching for a way to recover the missing photographs on flash memory card. That's when I found Photo Rescue. At $29, it seemed a bargain but I was sceptical. I downloaded the free Photorescue demo and tried it on my corrupted flash card and suddenly there they were! Thumbnail images of my missing digital photographs. That sold me! I paid the fee to purchase the full version and completed the recovery of my compact flash memory card. The end result? Photorescue recovered 46 out of 48 digital photographs on the compact flash card. It was the best $29 I ever spent. It literally rescued my entire trip and client photo shoot!

You can view a few of the photographs that were recovered in my Grand Canyon photo gallery.

I was so impressed with Photorescue that I became a distributor for their software. Since then, I have added low cost flash card recovery services for anyone that needs assistance in recovering their missing digital photographs. Digital photo recovery can be quite complicated, depending on the type of corruption that is keeping you from accessing your photographs. I have several years of experience in successfully recovering missing files from corrupted flash cards consequently you are more likey to get good recovery results by sending me your card for analysis and recovery.

You can try Photorescue for free! Simply download a free demo of Photorescue directly from this web site. Best results are obtained if you have your flash card plugged into a card reader instead of your camera. If the demo program displays thumbnail images of your photographs, the purchased version will recover your photographs. If you don't see thumbnails images of your photographs after running the Photo Rescue demo, don't buy Photo Rescue. It won't recover your photographs. However, don't give up hope, flash card recovery can be very complicated. If you see no thumbnails, send me your card as I may get better results. Please try the demo *before* you buy Photorescue. Upon completing your card analysis, if you see thumbnail images of your photographs, return to this page and click on the link "Buy Photorescue" to purchase the full version. Delivery of your licensed software will occur via email, usually within 15 minutes. You will receive email confirmations at each step of the purchase and delivery process. I recommend removing the demo program from your computer before you install the licensed version of Photo Rescue.

Photorescue is available in both PC Windows and MAC OSx versions.

Photorescue supports the recovery of all file types but its algorithms are optimized for JPG files, TIFF files, GIFs, BMPs, and camera RAW formats. Photo Rescue will also recover video files. Photo Rescue is not designed to recover hard drives but if you have a hard drive problem, I do offer recovery services for hard drives.

If your card is damaged, corrupted, has been formatted, or your photos were accidentally deleted, Photo Rescue is one of the best digital photo recovery solutions you can try. Photorescue consistently beats other digital photo recovery solutions in independent tests. Photorescue even deals with cases where the flash media is no longer visible as a drive letter. Photorescue's unique unfragmenting technology rebuilds damaged image files that would otherwise be gone forever.

If you don't feel comfortable attempting your flash card recovery I would be pleased to do it for you. Please print this form and send it to me with your memory card. There is no charge to evaluate your digital camera flash card but I do ask that you include a check or money order in the amount of $6 for return postage. I will contact you the same day I receive your card with the results of your recovery. Please make your check to Oscar Medina.
