Photo Recovery Tips and Tricks Given by Experts

A couple months ago, a survey of American households to determine how many people actually suffered some form of data loss. It turned out that 1 out of four people have experienced data loss. Which types of files they value the most is asked. 39% of computer users said that photos were their most valuable data. We can see from the result of this survey that there is a huge demand for photo recovery. Then what to do to recover photos you deleted or lost? I'm here to help.


Photo Recovery Tips and Tricks

1. Do NOT use your computer or media storage device any more if possible.

Once you realize that you have lost or deleted your photos, do not write or save or add anything else even a single file to the hard disk or memory card. When you delete photos, the operating system marks the blocks that the photo existed on as available. The actual photo data is not touched, until and unless a new file is saved on to the disk, which has a chance of over-writing the photo data. Obviously the more files you write to the disk, the greater possible that you may over-write the photos you deleted or lost. Once the photos are overwritten, no way to recover the pictures.

2. Do NOT perform Defragment on the hard drive of your computer.
Defragmentation causes blocks to be moved, and the blocks that photos you lost or deleted are in, are more than likely to be over-written.


3. Methods to recover photos.
There are several ways to back up and recover pictures.

Recover pictures from a backup application

Click "Start" and then "Control Panel". Next, click "Back up your computer" and click "Restore my files" & "Browse for files".

  2. Indeed, photos are usually the most important files, as these preserve some of our most treasured memories. Most photos are stored online in social networking sites. However, there are sites that have changed their purpose, from being a social networking platform into a gaming platform (Friendster) and e-commerce website (Multiply). When these changes happened, users were given a notice to retrieve their photos, as these will be deleted to give way for the site’s changes. Users then had to transfer their files into another site, so they can still preserve their photos and other important data. I think the lesson here is to store your photos in a photo sharing site like Flickr, so you can be sure that your photos will never be lost.
