Thank you for that very detailed, also comprehensible, reply. I have gone over to the dark side with Easeus, which has had better results. Not perfect, but fairly satisfactory. Many thanks for your help

I ran Recuva again for just the ones I'm missing and got the same result, just the _104 numbers, though according to the program there are 56 fully recovered files (73 partly recovered). Still can't open any of them.

It's FAT32 file system. Some of the photos recovered have what look like the original numbers on them, original is eg 'P1046572.jpg', the recovered files with no preview have '_1046572.jpg'. Some have previews and those have numbers like '[000597].jpg'. The latter are full files and I can open them with Photoshop. Looking at the files in Recuva, some say 'State: Excellent, Comment: No overwritten clusters detected'. But I still can't open them and they don't generate a preview. And Recuva just crashed on trying to save to a new folder

Scandisk SD card used for my camera. It's not very old and only has photo and video files on it and has never been used for anything else

Thank you. I have actually just tried Irfanview but without any luck.

Hello, Could someone please explain to me whether it makes any difference that the file sizes on the recovered files are what I would expect - high quality jpg images, so 6-10Mb? Recuva has found all my accidentally (stupidly) deleted photos but I can't open them with any programs.
