ColorSpace 0 Recovery Saved The Day

[Ed Cordes]

I never thought it would happen to me! I formatted a CF card before saving the images to a lap top or hard drive.:confused:

The images were from a rare family reunion this past weekend. I got distracted by the somewhat controlled chaos around me and I formatted the card before uploading them to my ColorSpace 0. Once I discovered my error I ran the recovery sequence provided on the ColorSpace and recovered all the lost images!:) It even recovered images I made over the summer that were at one time captured to the same card even though the card had been formatted at least 4 times since then.

I remember reading in Artie's "Birds as Art II" that this would happen to us all at one time or another and didn't believe it. Well, I am a believer now. I am just thankful that the people who write the recovery software are good at it. My images, and my butt, are saved!:D


So, all BPN members should be sure you have some means of data recovery with you. You just never know when Brain Fade :eek: will attack and you will need to recover images from a formatted memory card.

Thanks Ed !!! Glad you were able to recover images !!!

Back at the start of digital I had an IBM Micro drive and failed. I had looked at the images but did not download ... at that time with 1.1 USB it was painfully slow. I had important things so I called to see what options I had ... most companies doing the recovery would charge thousands of dollars, it was incredible !!! Glad things have changed !!!
