Cannot recover photos from my SD card with RECUVA free version.

[Malcolm164]

My cameras SD card is corrupted and contains about 4GB of photos. RECUVA free version does not "find them", but a free version of "STELLAR PHOENIX" does so I know they are recoverable. However the free version of STELLAR PHEONIX only allows you to recover 1GB and then I am not able to extract them to my photo files. The paid version of STELLAR PHOENIX is very expensive compared with the professional version of RECUVA. I use other PIRIFORM software so would prefer to stay with the brand. Can any one assure me that RECUVA PROFESSIONAL will work for me? .

Recuva Professional has the same recovery function as Recuva free, and vice-versa. It's difficult to say what's happening without any details, and of course nobody knows what either software is doing internally. I wouldn't put money on 'I know they are recoverable'.

Hi Augeas, thanks for your thoughts. With STELLAR PHOENIX I can see my pictures, its just that I cannot transfer them unless I pay, so I know they are recoverable. If there is no difference between the free version of RECUVA and the PROFESSIONAL version then whats the point? There must be a difference.

as to Stellar 'seeing' your lost photos, it could only be showing you the thumbnail portion.

there has been similar posts about Recuva, showing what looks like a recoverable picture, only for it to be recovered and there being no said picture.
