Hi I performed a full scan of an SD card with deleted images. It managed to list most of the photos I've lost. When I click preview it shows the RAW image in perfect condition. Then I click recovery. When I want to open the recovered image it says it is corrupted!!
I'm on Mac OSX El Capitan. When I click on preview I can open the image with Preview but I can't unlock it nor duplicate it!
Why is this?
Thanks
George
Hi George,
The corruption might have been occurred due to following reasons:
1) Deleted photos were overwritten by new files before running the photo recovery software.
2) Bad sectors may also corrupt the photos or allows partial recovery of photos.
Solution: You can try demo version of Stellar JPEG repair software for Mac. This tool allows batch repair of corrupt/damaged JPEG and JPG files.
Hope this helps. Do let us know if you have further queries.
