Repair and Fix Corrupted Images
Author: Raymond30 Sep
Yesterday I written an article about “How To Recover Deleted Digital Photo from Digital Camera’s Memory Card“. It works most of the time if you followed the instructions carefully. However, there are chances that the recovered photo might be not viewable after recovering. That’s what happened to me. I was recovering some photos from my memory card and I saved all of the images that can be recovered. Some photos displayed perfectly and some gave the message “No preview available” in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
Another way that can corrupt an image file is hard drive Bad Sectors. If so happen that the image file is on the bad sector, the image will not be viewable. Even if you fix it with Scandisk, it will not save your image.
Please take note that recovering photos from memory card is different from recovering images from damaged/corrupted images. In this case, you already have the image file but it won’t display. Here’s what you can do when you have an image file that you can’t view.
After much searching, it didn’t seem like there were many tools or tips and tricks to repair a corrupted image file. There’s only one software I found called PixRecovery which is data recovery program for damaged images. It supports GIF, TIFF and JPEG formats. It is sort of like a picture repair utility.
It’s very easy use. Just run PixRecovery, click on the “Recover” button to browse for the image file that you want to repair. It will then automatically detect the picture type, tries to recover the picture and prompt you where you’d like to saved the recovered damaged image file.
The only drawback is it’s not free. PixRecovery cost a whopping US$149.00 for a single user license. I think it’s expensive because it’s the only software that is able to recover and repair corrupted image files. Like I said in previous article, photos are precious which can last a lifetime, that’s why programmers know that people would pay for a software that can help them recover their corrupted photos. I couldn’t find any retail versions, cracked versions or keygenerators for PixRecovery. But I managed to find OfficeRecovery.Enterprise.v2007.Incl.Keymaker-AGAiN. OfficeRecovery Enterprise is a suite of recovery programs that includes PixRecovery.
You can try the free demo version of PixRecovery which recovers a limited amount of corrupted data. The remaining recoverable data will be labeled as “demo” in the demo-recovered file. Full version of PixRecovery will recover the demo-limited data as well.

Memory card of my digital camera gets corrupted in which i stored very important photographs but i approached data recovery service to recover my photographs .

I needed to recover the files my ten years old daughter had inadvertently deleted from the digital camera we recently offered her, so I first tried the software you suggested in your previous article.
It worked fine, but she had unknowingly taken another dozen of pictures since, and I found that all the pictures recovered by the software were corrupted, so I moved on to this article.
I downloaded the pixrecovery demo, but its efforts did not look promising. The preview of the first file I tried was as corrupted as the original file, but the software seemed to think that it was ok.
After a bit of searching, I tried Photorescue Expert. It is slightly different, because apprently you can use it only on the card itself (unless I’ve missed something during the little time I spent using it).
Anyway, it only cost 29$ and it recovered almost all the pictures.
In a way, it combines the solutions to the problems raised in both articles. I’m not sure you’d be able to use it to recover a corrupted file on your hard disk, but if the problem is with your card, you may give this a shot.
As I understand it, the demo will show thumbnails of the files as they will look once recovered (not based on the thumbnail that is always readily stored in the header of the jpeg itself, and which is almost always ok, so it doesn’t give you a clue). I went on to purchase it only after verifying that the thumbnails looked fine, and I would advise anyone to do the same test before buying the product (your problems might be different from those I had).
There, I thought this feedback might be useful to you or your readers.
