This application is the update to the version I bought a couple of years ago (Photorescue Wizard-2.1.686). It does what it is supposed to do- find/resurrect image files on digital media. I used it when my daughter's hard drive failed, and we still had many of the photos on the CF cards. Even though they had been 'deleted' and other images had been saved on the cards, the older images were still retrievable.

The only problem with PhotoRescue at that time was that it would quit on its own after it was finished. It was not a problem to re-launch it, but it was disconcerting.

Paying for it was a hassle. I cannot remember exactly what payment 'service' it was, but it was enough (of a hassle) that I would not want to have to go through that process again.
