PhotoRescue Advanced PC is a high-quality recovery tool specifically designed to identify and reconstruct deleted or lost image files. This Advanced version offers you not only the usual automatic recovery functionality available in similar tools, but also a unique manual recovery utility that will let you “grow” a new copy of the deleted image by manipulating each of its allocation units.
The first step is to scan any physical or logical unit in search of every single cluster which contained a fragment of any of the image files that are no longer available in your memory card or hard drive. Once all of these allocation units have been identified, PhotoRescue Advanced will show you all the images that have been automatically recovered and the usable fragments of those which could not be completely recovered via automated file defragmentation algorithms. Unlike other recovery tools, when automatic processes fail PhotoRescue can still “give your pictures a second chance”. It will show you a full cluster map of the incomplete image, and will let you manipulate each cluster in order to recover the image information that was once stored in it. This is how this application can “grow” new pictures out of what would normally be considered a lost image file.
To perform the data recovery scan and the subsequent automated recovery process you do not require having any special knowledge about clusters and how to bring them back to life. However, when you switch into manual mode, things can get a bit tricky for less experienced users.
