DiskInternals Flash Recovery 2.0 Turns Complex Photo Recovery from Various
Storage Media into A Few-click Fun Affair
(I reviewed version 1.11 in February 2005. Available at http://www.pcug.org.au/~tbibo/articles/flash_recovery.htm Ed.)
SEATTLE, WA. - April 10, 2006:
DiskInternals Research, a respected innovator in digital photo recovery
technologies, today announces the release of DiskInternals Flash Recovery 2.0.
This application gives you a wizard-style user interface that lets you recover
deleted or lost photos from various storage media, including cameras, flash
memory devices, hard drives, and external drives. Now, you can recover photos
and even movies you may have lost due to a hardware malfunction, a virus attack,
or simple carelessness when you or some other people have deleted them by
mistake. Version 2.0 comes with a new extra features and improvements that make
the process of photo recovery even faster and more convenient for home
users.
DiskInternals Flash Recovery has been designed with the home user
in mind, the one who has no knowledge of recovery technologies. This is
reflected in the user interface, which is made as a wizard to guide you through
all the stages of photo recovery in a point-and-click fashion. The wizard
restricts your efforts to selecting a storage media and a type of scan, either
fast or full drive. The scan and recovery are fully automated, so there is even
no need to attend to the process. However if you stay at your computer, you will
be rewarded by a slideshow. As soon as the first recoverable images have been
found, DiskInternals generates their thumbnails and, instead of a dull progress
bar, you will see an animated slideshow of the search results.
With the
DiskInternals' software in place, you can recover almost all popular image
formats. The program is very good at restoring RAW, CR2, CRW, TIFF, and JPEG
photos from formatted memory cards. All other image formats are also supported
and recoverable. Moreover, you can use DiskInternals to recover deleted movies,
which may be in the AVI, MOV, and MPEG formats. Regardless of what you are
trying to recover, the program always demonstrates excellent results. They are
due to the unique recovery technology - expanded file search. The DiskInternals'
artificial intelligence analyzes every bite of the memory card and compares it
to the equivalent in its own base. This enables you to recover photos from the
memory cards that have been damaged or formatted.
The results of the scan
are displayed as thumbnails in the wizard's window. You can preview any of them
full size, be it a photo or movie, simply by double-clicking on the appropriate
thumbnail. The selected item is displayed in a separate window along with its
information, including the name, image format, and size. The Preview option is
available even in the free trial version. Another convenience comes with an
ability to filter found items, which allows you to narrow your view and see
photos and movies that fall into a particular category. You can categorize items
by their type (photos, RAW photos, movies), size, or their status (lost and
deleted files, or existing files). What's more, you can specify your own file
mask to categorize. All in all, DiskInternals software makes a perfect companion
for any home photo enthusiast.
