GetDataBack recovering Photographs.

[DejaVu]

I've got a customers Laptop here who has reinstalled their machine the day before yesterday and have asked me to try and recover their Photographs.
I've pulled them all off using GetDataBack and have them all with the correct names and with decent filesizes, but when trying to open them, they are coming up invalid.

Is there anything else I can do to salvage them?

You tried opening with Photoshop?

Yeah it goes to try, but I end up with a black box.

I'm trying the suggestions here at the moment -

Photorec is a more powerful tool mate, try that!

Try easeus datarecovery.

Had plenty of luck in the past with docs, photos and formated hdd's etc

I've just recovered a load of photo's for a friend with GetDataBack, it worked perfectly.

I've run through with PhotoRec and it's looks to have found loads - unfortunately every single picture on the PC for the past 2 years.
They are there, but all the File names have changed - but that's no big deal.

At least she's got them back.
I'm just organising them as best I can using the File Tags / Camera Model / Date Taken to try and help out with a bit of sorting at the moment...

Total PiTA!
