Alamoon Photo Undelete

Files of all kinds can easily get lost, or even accidentally deleted. It’s pretty frustrating for this to happen when you’re trying to transfer a bunch of pictures from your camera, or removable storage device but can’t find them, or the device in question got corrupted in the meantime. Luckily, you can use specialized applications like Alamoon Photo Undelete to attempt to recover lost pictures.

On the visual side of things, the application keeps things simple making it easy for individuals of all levels of experience to quickly get the hang of things. More than this, the entire process is wizard-driven, which means you only have to click a few buttons here and there, while following each step until files are back on your hard disk drive.

As the name suggests, the application’s core function is to scan a specific drive for removed pictures, and attempt to recover them. You can target both NTFS and FAT file systems, removable and fixed. In case a drive does not show up in the selection screen there’s a “refresh” button to help out.

It can take some time for the scan operation to find files, but this mostly depends on the size, and health status of the selected drive. Luckily, results are shown in real time as detected, with additional details like file size, and start sector.

It’s advisable to pay attention to the process status, because no prompts shows up when done. The total number of files is shown, and moving to the next step lets you get large previews to confirm they’re the files you’re looking for. You can select only those pictures you want to recover.

The destinations simply needs to be specified either through the browse dialog, or writing down a specific path. A good idea is to use a different drive to save files, so you don’t risk losing them again, or overwriting those sectors.

To sum it up, Alamoon Photo Undelete looks like a simple application with no serious business in mind. However, appearances can be deceiving, and the simplicity in design is meant to give you a quick start, and the end result might just mean full recovery of all pictures you lost.
