How to identify Good Photo Recovery Software

Did it ever happen that you have accidentally “deleted all” photos, and video files stored on your computer system? On the other hand, did you format your digital camera or memory card while you were accessing it? If that is the case, then need to recover your deleted photos. For this you need a good Photo Recovery Software. Problem is that how to select a good photo recovery software. Here I list down the parameters used to identify good photo recovery software:--

Storage devices: Select the software that can recover photos from storage devices such as hard disk drives, SD Cards, CF Cards, XD Cards, Memory Sticks, external Zip drives, FireWire and USB hard drives.

Features: Check if the software allows you to preview the files before recovering photos. This will allow you to select the files that you want to recover instead of all the other photos.
