CardRaider is one of many utilities that can help you recover photos and movies that you deleted from your digital camera’s media card.

I accidentally erased my photos on my digital camera’s SD Memory Card before importing them into iPhoto. Is there any way I can get them back?

Judging by the number of utilities that help you recover erased photos and movies from your camera’s media card, you’ve obviously made a common mistake. We’ve successfully used Exif Untrasher (free, www.bluem.net/downloads/exif-untrasher_en) to recover images from memory cards.

Other programs that can help you recover your photos and movies include CardRaider ($19.95, www.ecamm.com), Klix ($29.95, www.joesoft.com), CameraSalvage ($49.95, www.subrosasoft.com), MediaRECOVER ($29.95, www.mediarecover.com), and PhotoRescue ($29, www.datarescue.com). Many of them let you preview thumbnails before recovering, can attempt to retrieve files from damaged or formatted cards, and can even securely delete a file so it can never be recovered again. CardRaider also offers iPhoto integration to restore your photos directly into iPhoto.
