Is there any way to get this photo back? Details inside?

Question

Ok i took some photos at crufts and i agreed to send a copy to the owner, i saved them to my computer and deleated them off the camera yesterday. Today i was editing the photos so that they looked good and croping them as i took loads and its the dogs im intrested in, anyway i thought i had another copy of this photo saved and i croped the photo so that it was just the dog and saved it. It turns out that i dont have a second copy and i wanted a photo of the dog and the owner tougher as she has allways wanted to show at crufts but that was the only one i had of the both.

Is there anyway i can recover the origanal photo that i saved over?

Answer 1

Unless you have taken more photos using the camera and card the photos will still be on the card (just marked with a delete flag). Download some free software to undelete the photos from the camera.



Just done a quick search and come up with the following:

There are loads and I'm sure you'll find one that works.



Hope this helps.

I'm sure you may have heard that when you delete a file from a computer, it is never "truly deleted." That statement, however, is only partly true. The files do not get deleted after, only the space that they occupy on the disk get prepared to be written over. When you reformatted the memory card in your camera, it did exactly that, and only prepared your pictures to be written over.



SO, the first thing you have to do after format is to not save any more pictures onto that memory card or you risk writing over the photo video files that you are trying to recover!



Got that far? Now you need to choose the appropriate camera recovery software. There are a tons of different programs but some are better than others. I actually recommend a program called 001 File Recovery because they have an option that is designed for recovering media files from FORMATTED memory cards, not only deleted or corrupted photo video files. You can download this software here:

Lastly, if the program does not recognize your SD Card as a drive when you are plugging the camera directly into the computer, you may need to directly plug your card into a card reader. Make sure that the card reader has the capabilities to handle your memory card though. Many older card readers can only handle cards up to 2GB, so if your card is bigger than that, you need a newer card reader.

I think it could work if you done a system restore on your pc!

But then the other cropped photos would go back to how they were.

Depending when you done them is when to put it back, if it was today then on the system restore but the time back.



To do a system restore if its on Windows XP:

Use System Restore

After you've decided to use System Restore to revert your system to a previous state, start the System Restore Wizard and follow the prompts. To use the System Restore Wizard, make sure you're logged on as an administrator, and then follow these steps:



1.

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.



2.

On the Welcome screen, click Restore my computer to an earlier time, and then click Next.



3.

On the Select a Restore Point page, select the date from the calendar that shows the point you'd like to restore to and then click Next.



4.

On the Confirm Restore Point Selection page, verify that the correct restore point is chosen, and then close any open programs.



5.

Click Next if you are ready to proceed or click Back to change the restore point.



6.

The computer will shut down automatically and reboot. On reboot, you'll see the Restoration Complete page, and then click OK



IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS VISTA:

There are several ways to find System Restore. The easiest is to type "system restore" in the Start Menu search field and press Enter or click on the search result.







The main System Restore window will open. You have two options: to restore your system to a previous restore point or to create a new restore point.



First, we will show you how to create a restore point.



- and it would change what had been changed from that day back to how it was befoe you edited it, if you put it back it would change all the files that have been saved and deleted within that time.



In the lower part of the System Restore window you should see a link saying open System Protection. Click on in.







A new window called System Properties will pop-up. Here you can select the drives which will be included in the restore point. To select them, simply click in the appropriate check-boxes and then click the Apply button.







Now you can create a custom restore point for the selected drives. To do that, click the Create button, type the name for the restore point, and click the Create button once again.







Windows Vista will create the restore point for the drives you selected. After a while you will receive the confirmation that the restore point was created.





To restore your system to a previous state you can use the recommended restore point or you can choose a different one. The Recommended restore option will restore your system to the most recent restore point.



If you select the second option, after you press the Next button, you will see a list of available restore points. Select the one you prefer and press the Next button once again.



Now you are asked to confirm your restore point. Click the Finish button and System Restore will restart your computer to apply the necessary changes.



When the process is finished your system will be back to the state you selected.

I have meet a lot of people asking similar question. The answer is absolutely Yes. You can always recover deleted photos or lost photos from your digital camera after memory card reformat. Formatting won't make the data in your memory card erased permanently. The pictures you deleted or formatted are still in camera SD card, just not accessible right now.



The best way to recover them back is trying some photo recovery programs. A nice one is Asoftech Photo Recovery that helped me before.

http://www.asoftech.com/articles/how-to-recover-deleted-photos-from-camera.html



This program can deep scan to find your lost photos first and then perform recovery with nice quality. But before your photos are recovered, please don't take more photos in case your lost photo data are overwritten.



Here is the steps you may refer while recover your photos from your camera memory card.

1. Download and install asoftech photo recovery program on your computer.

2. With your memory card inserted, Under "My Computer", note the drive letter assigned to your camera's memory card (usually G: or H:).

3. Start the photo recovery program and select the drive letter that assigned to camera memory card, click "Start".

4. Now the scanning process will start automatically to deep look for the lost pictures. You will then get a list of all recoverable ones. Check if all your pictures are there.

5. Select the pictures you want and click "Next", and you can get back lost photos from camera successfully.

Answer 5

Sorry Prof., I've never really edited/created an artist page. MQ: Tough call between Radiohead and The Pixies, they switch positions all the time as my favorite band. I've never really given the Talking Heads a try. Pixies: right now I'll say Cactus Radiohead: (Nice Dream) at the moment, or maybe In Limbo
