The demo version read my card two different ways, is able to see all the pics on a card that somehow was corrupted (son's wedding pics) and asked if I wanted to create a backup image file which later the paid version can read.

I placed the corrupted card in a reader, and it found it and read it. The 'helps' were useful in knowing how to configure the expert mode. I experimented with the card three times, and the expert manual mode found 5 or 6 pics that the other method did not see.

This is a fine piece of work...
