Precious memories
“Memories are made of this” are the opening lines of a well known ballad from the sixties. The previous generation had physical memories – the word ‘physical’ indicating the fact that theirs was an age before technology was available at one’s doorstep. They are from an era where people send each other letters written by hand on paper with ink. Even ball point pens were a rarity. Needless to say that their collections of precious memories were confined within the covers of many albums lovingly put together through the ages. Initially in black - and – white and later on in colour, these are the proof of happy times gone by.
The Next Gen
Ours is a technical age and with the age come the means, methods and headaches as well. Ours being the age of electronics, our cameras are filmless and one no longer carries a separate camera too unless he / she is a journalist or an aspiring photographer. Our cameras are integrated with our cell phones, iPhones and all the latest gadgetry. Our repositories have changed too. Our photos are all now stored in the hard disk of a computer and therein lies the danger. We hardly copy our data, including photos onto separate DVDs. Most often, we simply let them lie on the hard disks themselves.
With this being the prevalent situation, one needs a backup plan to fall back on for the day when crisis hits. An online photo storage system is a good option. Another way to preserve photos would be to have a secondary storage device where one stores all his digital memories on a regular basis. To take things further, one more way to make sure that those memories do not get erased would be to ensure that one had a good photo recovery system in place. This option is one of the safety nets that a person can place beneath his valued possessions – even precious memories.
The safety nets available
There are quite a few software available for photo recovery and these sometimes have trail version, which are available on the internet free to be downloaded. The premium versions are the complete product and they usually come with an annual maintenance fee. Some of such software are the Wondershare Data Recovery Mac, Remo Recovery, 001 Micron Digital pictures Recovery, ADI Software digital photo recovery, Adroit photo recovery, Anyfound photo recovery, Advanced photo recovery, Antler Tek photo recovery and so on.
Facts to be considered
Be it any software to be used for Photo recovery, there are a few things that one should keep in mind before choosing to purchase one of them. One should look for four capabilities in the software. They are JPEG photo recovery, Fragmented recovery, camera RAW recovery and Video recovery. JPEG image files are capable of being viewed with a browser and these are not recognised by many photo recovery software. It has been proved that most photo images appear fragmented when stored in the computer and therefore it is important that the photo recovery recognises this fragmentation.
