Custom Software Developement

What do you look for in a digital photo recovery tool? One of the most important features is the ability to recognize and recover camera RAW files. While many universal data recovery programs can recognize common picture file types such as jpegs, that ability is extremely limited in use when attempting to recover deleted files from a camera memory card. These files are usually stored in a proprietary camera manufacturer’s format. These are known as RAW files.

Companies such as Canon, Nikon, and Minolta all use their own proprietary file creation system. Indeed this is an essential part of how these cameras translate the visual image to a digital format. A Mac digital photo recovery tool must not only be able to recognize these specific file types, it must be able to do this from the vantage point of the Mac platform. Further, for photo recovery Mac programs must be capable of quickly scanning an entire Mac OS X operated hard drive and return a list of all existing and deleted image files for preview.
