Previously I’ve introduced PC INSPECTOR Smart Recovery which is a data recovery program from CONVAR for Flash Card, Smart Media, SONY Memory Stick, IBM Micro Drive, Multimedia Card, Secure Digital Card or any other data carrier for digital cameras. Other than that, I’ve also posted 10 more free data recovery software.

Those are the free ones and there are also paid software for data recovery. Some are cheap and some are ridiculously expensive. Generally speaking, most sharewares are better than freewares otherwise they wouldn’t charge money for it. Just like comparing between the free AVG with Kaspersky :P Back to the story. I found a way to obtain free license for a recovery software called Lexar Image Rescue 3 that normally cost $29.99. Best part is there is it works on both Windows and Mac OS.
Lexar Image Rescue 3 software is simple, intuitive image recovery software that can recover lost or deleted files from any type or brand of memory card, using any card reader-giving you peace of mind that your valuable images and files are not lost. And Lexar Image Rescue 3 software not only provides image recovery, but now restores video and audio files, as well.

If you’ve ever accidentally deleted an image, experienced a card corruption, or had camera batteries fail while saving a picture, you know the results can be devastating. Trusted by professional photographers, Lexar Image Rescue software provides reliable image recovery of most popular file types, including JPEG, TIFF, and RAW formats. The software can recover image files from any type of memory card, using any reader-helping you save your valuable photos.
With a redesigned interface that includes a simple, step-by-step recovery process and a live online support chat link, Image Rescue 3 software offers the same award-winning innovation as previous versions, but now with more easy-to-use features. And as in previous versions, the software can also reformat the card, securely delete images, and report on the overall condition of the card, so you can always ensure it’s in perfect working order.
To get a free full version of Lexar Image Rescue 3 software, just follow the few simple steps below.
1. Go to this page http://store.lexar.com/imagerescue3/.

Wow, thank you very much Raymond. I was looking for software like this as my 4gb SD card recently corrupted.
My mom accidentally erased all the pics from her camera. They had just returned from Vegas and as you can imagine she was heart broken. I found your blog post, got the program and recovered all her pics. Needless to say I am a hero. Thanks for the help in scoring some brownie points.
Thanks you saved my life
A big “ThankYou” from germany :)
nice page
thx baby
But I didn’t purchase any card…
Wouldn’t that be stealing?
Merci beaucoup Raymond !!!
thank you raymond.
I forgot to note CGSecurity’s PhotoRec has also outperformed a slew of recovery sharewares given out over at GAOTD.
Even lacking a GUI, it’s still the program I reach for first if one of my cameras gorks up saving pictures.
shinod, I had to tell NoScript to allow scripts to get it, but there\\\\\\\’s also a direct download link if you scroll down.

nice- having win2k, it may or may not help right away, but filed and ready…
I\\\\\\\’d like to suggest taking a look at CGSecurity\\\\\\\’s PhotoRec- (cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec) a companion to TestDisk. both free.
No GUI, less \\\\\\\’user-friendly\\\\\\\’ since it has multiple options and is keyboard-controlled, but it has a truly awesome range of file types it can recover- more than 180 file extensions (about 100 file families).
and in my experience so far, it recovers files as well or better than at least a third of the ones on your top-10 list.
I\\\\\\\’ll be downloading the rest of the top-10 list I didn\\\\\\\’t find earlier.
Thanks.
Thanks, Raymond: this is the kind of software that you want to have and never use…
