Easy Digital Photo Recovery

Accidentally deleting a photo is not a mistake you want to make, especially if it was an image that captured a moment very dear to your memory. Still, accidents can happen, especially when you are trying to clean up your PC a little bit. Whole folders of beautiful holiday pics are known to have been lost like this.

Anyway, you need not despair, as there are plenty of programs created just for the purpose of recovering digital images. Easy Digital Photo Recovery is one of them.

The program’s interface is extremely intuitive; in fact, using it is mostly a matter of clicking “Next”. First, you’ll have to choose a disk or partition that you want scanned for deleted image files. This, of course, may take a while, depending on the disk’s size, so make sure you have something to do in the meantime. Read a good book or maybe some more awesome Softpedia reviews.

Easy Digital Photo Recovery automatically does something called a “raw search” which is a more detailed scan of your drive. However, this will take you longer. If you just need to quickly find photos that you’ve deleted recently, just skip the raw search during the scan; if the app doesn’t find what you’re looking for, you can try again using that option.

After the search is done, the program may display many deleted image files, and not all of them will be pictures that you have taken. A lot of those files may come from uninstalled programs, video games or deleted MP3 files which contained album art, just to name a few.

If it’s too much to scroll through the long list, you could use the app’s filters to find what you’re looking for; these include filename, date and file size. Remember to always choose to recover the files on a different drive than the one they were deleted from.

To conclude, Easy Digital Photo Recovery is an easy-to-use program that can help you retrieve deleted photos. But, as I’ve already said in the beginning, there are already many file recovery tools out there. Some of them are free and even more powerful, so maybe you could try them first.
