Available free written on Lexar CF cards is Image rescue - a software package to recover images from a card after deletion or format. I naturally installed this on my machine and after a little play thought it was useless only recovering thumbnails from formatted cards.
Late last week I was presented with a card that had been formatted accidentally and a few more images added. The job was to recover as many images as possible. I ran image rescue for real and found lots of thumbnails again. After setting up in preferences for JPEG and ignore thumbnails I recovered a whipping 850MB from a 1GB card.
The trick is to select the file format for it to recover and hey-presto works a treat. I did the extensive search and it found lots of images, some partially written over but the majority were recovered.
The card belonged to my Ladies boss and earned her a box of choccies - something a little wrong there
