Free Art Plus Digital Photo Recover is free Windows software that helps you recover lost images. The software works with pictures that have been deleted, sit on a formatted memory card, or have been the victim of file corruption.

In addition to recovering pictures directly from a memory card, Free Art Plus has an additional feature that will copy the entire contents of the card to your computer. By saving this “disk image”, Free Art Plus lets you go back to using your memory card without worrying about overwriting the deleted images. This sounds like a great feature for any photographer who has a card fail in the field — just make sure you have your laptop handy.

Free Art Plus works with the common image formats such as JPG, TIF and PNG, as well as a variety of RAW formats. Take a look at “Photo Recovery Software” by tech blog gHacks.net for more information on the software.
