Anyway to retrieve lost pictures?

Question

When transferring from camera pictures from a SD card to computer, I used cut & paste.

I don't know why but during that process, I lost about 10 pics.

I tried using the search function, looked in the recycle bin, looked on the SD memory card itself but the pictures look like they have been lost for good which really sucks.

Since the pics aren't even on the SD card it looks like i'm SOL but if anyone has some way for me to recover the pics I would be very greatful.

Answer 1

Take no more pics until you've recovered the photos, take the card out of the camera. Here's some freeware photo recovery software that should be what you're looking for:

Answer 2

Google image recovery and take your pick of programs.  Just don't shoot more photos in the meantime.

Answer 3

Go and download the demo version of PhotoRescue (link below).  It will tell you if there are any recoverable pictures on the SD Card (if you haven't used it since you took the pictures off of the card, there is a good chance it can be recovered).

If it finds the photos, you can purchase the program (about $29), and recover the photos.
