Unhappy Corrupted Images
Hi i formatted a laptop that contained a lot of images. after using the laptop for a week i tried to recover the pictures that were lost during the formatting, i used "easy recovery pro" and was able to recover 825 out of 1100 pictures, the remaining ones show up with the name but when viewing them i get "no preview" on the screen, the image is blank.

is there a way to fix this, maybe use a better software to recover these images or reconstruct the image itself.

please help

Thanks in advance.

Between EasyRecovery and GetDataBack, I haven't found anything that works better. There are a lot of options in both, and you will just have to try them.

But the fact that you got as many as you did is pretty amazing. You might try IrfanView for opening some of the dmaged ones. I think it's the best at trying to open files with missing information.
